Is there any way to block (mark as spam) incoming unknown calls?
I´d like to be able to block any incoming call from unknown people without using any additional app.

Keep the phone on DND and set the option to your contacts only.
That's the best you can do without any other app.

Is there any app which lets me block unknown numbers the built in blocked caller app doesnt block unknown numbers, so please can you recommend me apps which are able to do this.
Thanks.
There is an app called 'Call Blocker Elite' for Android which does what you want. I haven't tried it though.
I tried both Call Blocker Elite and GBlocker and found the second to be better at efficiently blocking unwanted calls.
Thanks downloading now
please if there any other apps please let me know
I was previously using ESET Mobile Security to block incoming calls and texts from a certain number. However, I've given up on that program, at least temporarily and have moved on to LBE Privacy Security. The only problem with LEB is that it doesn't cover call privacy in the same manner ESET did. Thus I'm not in need of another app to perform this task. CM7 can divert calls to voicemail but it doesn't appear to be able to block messages. Can anyone recommend an app to me?
I would recommend you to block sms and calls KasperskyMobile Security, CallMaster, Root Call Blocker. I'm sure that there are other programs for this.
i haven't tried any in particular but there are a few call & sms blockers in the market.
you could search for call blockers or even blacklist.
Try avast antivirus. Works best on rooted phones, has call and SMS blocker with theft protection, lockdown and SMS alert to two numbers.

i keep getting spam calls from the same number recently, and I went online to my verizon account to block the number. however, when I tried to apply it, I got an error message saying that I could not block it. interestingly, the system applied the block to my wife's iPhone.
is there an alternative way to block calls aside from a 3rd party app?
thanks!

Some ROMs have that feature built in -- like CM. That's not "3rd party app".

Other than that, I use RCB blocker, but I'm rooted and it's a 3rd party app.

if it was a landline number you could use this service:

But it doesn't work with cell phones.
finally got it figured out. had to have a chat with VZW and they had to enable "blocking calls and messages" feature on my account. i couldn't do it myself online, only on their end.
What I've done is create a contact called Block, tick the box to send to voicemail, and then set ringtone to none. You can add more than one number to this contact. Naturally this only works for numbers that you can save.
I use this. Works great. Xposed.

Is there a way to block specific calls only and allow text messages?
Is there a way to block ALL calls only and allow text messages?
Both of these options were available on my Note 4 in Marshmallow. In this phone on Nougat, I only see a way to block calls AND text messgaes; not one or the other.

Do you know any good non-root apps to block anonymous callers / hidden numbers on the Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact with Android 9 Pie?
I tried the apps Calls Blacklist and Simple Private Call Blocker but when I enable blocking of private/hidden numbers, these apps start blocking ALL incoming calls.
Any suggestions on an app that will work fine to achieve this?
Ah shoot, you're asking specifically for Android Pie. Sorry, please ignore my reply.
I tried Call Blocker. It fails to block anonymous callers.
Same for Extreme Call Blocker but it again fails to block anonymous callers.
Anyone who got this working already?
I had success with the app "Mr Number"
It is the only app i found so far that works with the XZ1 Compact on Android 9 to block incoming calls with hidden numbers.
