Check that you've granted all the requested permissions (the app asks for missing permissions when you open its main screen).
The app may encounter troubles providing its features on stock firmwares by some manufacturers (like MIUI from Xiaomi). You may try to enable the ["Advanced call blocking mode"](FAQ.md#whats-that-advanced-call-blocking-mode) (in Yet Another Call Blocker settings). The feature should help to fix call blocking, though still won't help to provide the informational notifications (except "Call blocked" notifications - these will work fine).
The app may encounter troubles providing its features on stock firmwares by some manufacturers (like MIUI from Xiaomi). There are two known issues so far:
Known issues: ["normal" blocking mode doesn't work on MIUI](https://gitlab.com/xynngh/YetAnotherCallBlocker/-/issues/12), [no informational notifications on some modern Samsung phones](https://gitlab.com/xynngh/YetAnotherCallBlocker/-/issues/13).
* [Call blocking and informational notifications don't work on MIUI (stock firmware on Xiaomi phones)](https://gitlab.com/xynngh/YetAnotherCallBlocker/-/issues/12).
This problem can be solved by enabling an always-running "monitoring service" (in Yet Another Call Blocker settings).
