Settings > connections > more connection settings. Change private DNS to Adguard as shown in screenshot. 1768378880322.jpg

Sure does! Best thing out there and the only thing I've found that works device-wide.

You can also use other adguard DNS urls for other things like content filtering. I believe there are also URLs for region specific filtering. 1768393364345.jpg

So what's the difference between the family.adguard-dns.com and the other one?

The family server enforces safe search/restricted mode and blocks adult sites in addition to ad blocking. Great for shared family devices or if you just aren't interested in seeing that kind of content.

Blocking a number on your phone just tells your device to reject the call, but your cellular carrier still receives it as an unanswered call and sends it to your voicemail, so carrier-level blocking is needed to stop voicemails from blocked numbers. This is because the carrier manages voicemail, so they need to be told to stop the call before it even reaches your voicemail system, which you can do by contacting them for their specific call-blocking services.
