Guide on how to block contact on Google Duo the video calling app.
Google Duo, the voice calling app, surpassed Pokemon Go to become the most popular app on Google Play. That came up as a surprise not only to us, but also to Google. Duo app didn’t take more than week to be the #1 in the list of popularity. Google Duo is already a smash it. If have you noticed, the Google Duo maintains a pretty simple and straight-forward interface with not many settings available. It just has basic settings that is required for any social communication app and in this guide we will show you how you can block contact on Google Duo easily.

Just follow the process mentioned below to block contact[s] on Google Duo –

- Under Settings tap on Blocked numbers.
- It will show you a screen listing out the blocked numbers.

One thing you should notice that, although you have blocked a contact, it will show only the mobile number of that particular contact in the list, so it’s definitely hard to identify a particular contact in the blocked contacts. We are hoping that in the upcoming version, Google should bring should a fix to it.
