Is there a way to block all incoming international calls? The spam numbers keep changing...

I tried blocking them number-by-number, but it keeps changing. They're coming in from Latvia, Estonia, etc. It's quite frustrating and I'm scared I'm going to accidentally answer one time! I haven't found any other Pixel related support regarding this.

Following your directions, my screen only allows me to 'Add A Number'. There are no switches. :(

I think I read that the augmented call blocking is a feature of Android Q. So until then, ah well. Too bad goog killed the ability for 3rd party apps to do it on Android 9.
