Do blocked numbers transfer to new android phone

Q: What happens to blocked numbers on Android?

People you block wont receive a notification so theres no way for them to know that they have been blocked. Every time they try to call you or send you text messages, it is either disconnected immediately, sent directly to the voicemail, or the spam box.

Hello! So to keep this short and simple I dropped my phone on its screen today rendering the screen unusable or see-able for that matter. I picked up a new phone same kind of galaxy android and just switched the number over. I had a pretty lengthy block list on my last phone and with the screen being damaged I wouldn’t have been able to go back and transfer the numbers to the new block list. Does anyone know if galaxy phones will just transfer a block list if your keeping the same phone number plan etc and just switching out the actual phone?

TL;DR: Dropped my Android galaxy and destroyed the screen. Picked up the same phone and transferred numbers will the blocked numbers transfer to the new phone. If not is there a way I can access this without a way to the old phone.

Did you buy a new Android handset, only to discover your blocked phone numbers are not able to be transferred over? There's an app for that! The app in the link down below can be used to transfer blocked numbers from one Android device to another. The only problem is, the app is in Portuguese. But even when you do not know the language, the app is very easy to navigate. Follow the steps below if you have any problems

Step 1: Install the above app on the phone that has the blocked phone numbers on it

Step 2: Tap the button thrice

Step 3: Tap "Ok, Vamos lá"

Step 4: Tap "Meus Bloqueados" and then "Set as default".

Step 5: Tap ALLOW

Step 6: On this screen, swipe until you find "Exportar meus números"

Step 7: Tap the button, and save the file somewhere. For example, OneDrive

or send it via email.

Step 8: On your new/other Android device, follow steps 1 to 5. And save the .json file to your device.

Step 9: Now swipe until you find the button "Restaurar meus números"

Does Samsung Smart Switch transfer blocked numbers?

Adding phone numbers in the block list does not require a Contact to exist. Adding numbers in the block list is easy, during an incoming call the "block" button adds the incoming call to the list and rejects the call at the same time. Unfortunately, Smart Switch does not transfer this list, hence my post.
