select privacy.

00:00:30

Here,

00:00:31

you'll find various options to personalize your call experience.

00:00:36

To minimize interruptions during important calls,

00:00:38

00:00:51

In the new window,

00:00:58

Add them to your priority list,

it's recommended to block anonymous calls.

00:01:19

In the blocked contacts section,

00:01:22

00:01:37

click edit blocked contacts.

00:01:55

features like call recording and transcription will
