In this article on Naijaknowhow, I’ll be writing about how to block Facebook Messenger calls. Facebook is one of the biggest social media platforms in the world. The platform is associated with some apps, one of which is Facebook Messenger that allows us chat or call others easily.

Unfortunately, the app comes with a problem identified by many people. Anyone can call you through the app even when you don’t want it. The person calling you doesn’t need your phone number to call you. Also, these calls consume a lot of mobile data which means you need to pay more.

Facebook Messenger has no settings whatsoever to disable Facebook calls. But that doesn’t mean there are no ways to disable Facebook Messenger calls. Below are the procedures you can block Facebook Messenger calls, but note that it can’t be done through the app itself.

How to Block Facebook Messenger Calls

Step 1: Using the Facebook Website

The first method that can be used to block Facebook Messenger calls involves using the Facebook website. To begin, the user needs to open the website via their device’s web browser and then sign in to their account. The process of signing in may differ slightly depending on whether the user is accessing Facebook from their PC or smartphone.

1. Once the user has signed in, they need to open the chat settings. If they are unable to locate the chat settings, they can click on the triple dot icon located to the right of the Contact menu. The triple dot icon is located below the panel that contains the list of menus.

2. After opening the chat settings, the user should select the “Incoming Call Sounds” option, which will prompt a pop-up menu to appear. The user can then select a time limit from the options provided. It is recommended that the user selects the “Until I turn back on” option.

Finally, the user should click on the “disable” option to stop receiving any notifications whenever they receive calls from Facebook Messenger. This method is considered the easiest way to block Facebook Messenger calls.

Step 2: Disabling Permission on Smartphone through Settings

If you happen to be an Android user, you can take these steps to block Facebook Messenger calls.

1. Firstly, you will need to navigate to the “Settings” menu on your phone. The location of this menu may vary slightly depending on your device, but you should be able to identify it by its gear app icon.

If you are unable to locate the Settings menu, simply swipe down from the top of your screen and click on the Settings icon above the notification bar.

2. Select “Apps” from the menu that appears. Once you have opened the Apps menu, scroll through the list until you come across “Messenger” and tap on it to select it.

3. Within the Messenger app settings, you will find a section labeled “Permissions.” This is usually located under the “Apps Settings” sub-menu. Once you have located this section, tap on “Camera” and select the “Deny” option to prevent Messenger from accessing your camera

5. Finally, move back to Phone as indicated in the image above to disable the permission for the phone. Tap on Phone. It will bring up the app permissions for the phone. Disable the permission and set it to “Deny.”

Conclusion

So these are the ways to block Facebook Messenger calls. However, if you only want to block calls from specific people, you can choose to block them individually. Also, if you are an iOS user, you can follow the same steps as the Android user, but you may need to make some adjustments due to the unique appearance of the iOS interface.
