We all need family time and quiet time. At this age, we all have mobile phones, and it is the first thing we get distracted by. So, today I got you something that will automatically silence all unknown calls. This step-by-step guideline will help you silence all your unknown calls.

I hope this will help you all.

Step 01

Open the “Shortcuts” application.


Step 02

Click “Automation,” then click “New Automation.”


Step 03

You need a specific time to silence all unknown calls, so it depends on time.

So, Click “Time of Day.”


Step 04

When

Set the time you want to silence all unknowing calls: "Sunrise," "Sunset,” or “Time of Day.”


Step 05

Repeat

Set the repeat time to "Daily," “Weekly” (you have to select the weekdays), or "Monthly” (you have to select the date).


Step 06

Click run immediately; then there is no need for your confirmation to run the action. You can turn on or off the notification when starting the action. Then click "Next.”


Step 07

Now the time is set, but we have to choose an action to run, so click “New Blank Automation,” then click “Add Action.”


Step 08

Here, you have to search for “Set Silence Unknown Callers” and click it. Check the action is “Turn Silence Unknown Callers on.” If it is, click "Done.”


Step 09

Now the turn-on action is set, but when it is turned on, we have to set up the turn-off time too; otherwise, it will turn on forever.

So, click the “+” icon to create a new “Automation,” then click “Time of Day.”


Step 10

Now set the time when you want to turn off silent, unknown callers. Then click "Next." The other setting is the same as last time.


Step 11

Click “New Blank Automation,” then click “Add Action.”


Step 12

Like step 8, search for “Set Silence Unknown Callers” and click it. but this time you have to click on “On” to activate the turn-off mode. Check the action is “Turn Silence Unknown Callers Off.” If it is, click "Done.”


Now that everything is set up, when the time has passed, all unknown calls will be silenced and reactivated when the turn-off time has passed. If you want to delete this action, hold on to it, then swap from right to left, and it will be deleted.


I hope you will be able to spend time with your family.
I hope you learn something.

Good Luck!
