In addition to blocking a user’s Google Account, you may also have the option to block someone’s phone number or email. These blocks do not block users across all of the Google products listed on this page. For example, you can:
- Block email addresses in Gmail
- Block phone numbers on your Pixel and Nexus phones
- Block phone numbers in Google Fi

Email addresses blocked in Gmail and phone numbers blocked in your phone app don't show up in the "Blocked users" section of your account. They also don't take effect across Google products.
Phone numbers blocked in Google Fi, Google Voice, or Google Meet appear in the “Blocked users” section of your account. They take effect across Google Fi, Google Voice, and Google Meet, but not other Google products.
