Calls via messenger Odnoklassniki can become a real problem if they come at the wrong time - during work, sleep or important meetings. Unlike standard SMS or calls via a SIM card, notifications from a social network often ignore Do Not Disturb modes on Android, and the call sound is sometimes impossible to quickly mute. This is especially true for users who have added a phone number to their profile or actively communicate through the built-in messenger.

In this article we will look at all possible ways to turn off calls in OK —from basic settings in the application itself to system level restrictions Android 13/14. You'll learn how to block specific users, turn off notifications for incoming calls, and set up a blacklist for unwanted contacts. We will separately consider the nuances for different smartphone manufacturers (Samsung One UI, Xiaomi MIUI, Honor MagicOS), where the interface may differ.

Important: some methods require latest version of the Odnoklassniki application (update it in Google Play before starting). If you use mod version or APK from third-party sources, some functions may not work correctly.

1. Disabling calls in the application settings OK

The easiest way is to use the built-in messenger options. The developers Odnoklassniki have provided the ability to mute the call sound or completely block incoming calls from all users. Here's how to do it:

  1. Open the application OK and go to the section Messages (envelope icon in the bottom menu).

  2. Click on the icon ⚙️ Settings in the upper right corner.

  3. Select item Calls and video.

  4. Move the slider Incoming calls to Off.

After this, all incoming calls will be automatically dropped, but users will be able to leave you voice messages (unless you disable them separately). Please note: this method does not block notifications about missed calls —they will still be displayed in the chat.

Messages are opened in OK|The settings icon is pressed (⚙️)|The "Calls and Videos" section is selected|The "Incoming calls" slider turned off-->

⚠️ Attention: If calls continue to come in after turning off, check if you have two versions of the application (for example, main and OK Lite). Settings may be reset when synchronizing between them.

2. Blocking specific users

If you are getting sick of calls from certain people, you can add them to black list right in the messenger. This will not only block calls, but also messages from these users. Instructions:

  • 📱 Open a dialogue with the user you want to block.
  • 🔍 Click on his name at the top of the chat to open his profile.
  • 🚫 Select Block (or More → Block in older versions).
  • ✅ Confirm the action in the pop-up window.

To manage the list blocked contacts, go to Settings → Privacy → Blacklist. Here you can unblock users or add new ones by phone number/nickname.

Important nuance: blocking in Odnoklassniki does not apply to other messengers (for example, WhatsApp or Viber). If a person calls you through several platforms, you will have to block him in each application separately.

What does a blocked user see?

A blocked contact will not be able to call you or write to you in OK, but will see that his messages are not delivered (❗ icon next to the message). However, he will still be able to view your profile if it is public.

3. Setting up notifications at the Android level

If you cannot disable calls in the application itself (for example, due to a bug), you can limit notifications via Android system settings. This method works on all smartphones, but the interface may be slightly different.

For pure Android (Pixel, Motorola, Nokia):

  1. Go to Settings → Applications.
  2. Find Odnoklassniki in the list and tap on it.
  3. Select Notifications.
  4. Disable the slider Calls or Sounds (depending on the OS version).

For Samsung One UI:

  • 📱 Settings → Notifications → Advanced → Odnoklassniki.
  • 🔔 Disable the category Calls or set priority Mute.

For Xiaomi MIUI:

  • 📱 Settings → Applications → Application management → Odnoklassniki → Notifications.
  • 🔔 Move the slider Calls to position Off or configure Do not disturb mode to do this applications.
Manufacturer Path to settings Features
Google Pixel Settings → Applications → OK → Notifications You can turn off the sound, but the notification icon will remain
Samsung Settings → Notifications → Advanced → OK There is an option "Mute and no icon"
Xiaomi/Redmi Settings → Applications → Management → OK → Notifications You can set the priority to "Low"
Honor/Huawei Settings → Notifications → Manage notifications → OK There is a separate switch for calls
⚠️ Attention: On some firmware (for example ColorOS from Oppo/Realme) system disabling notifications may cause you to stop receiving all notifications from OK, including messages. Check the messenger operation after the changes.

4. Using Do Not Disturb mode

If calls from Odnoklassniki interfer at certain times (for example, at night or at work), you can set Do Not Disturb mode (DND) in Android. This method allows you to block notifications from specific applications according to a schedule.

Instructions for most smartphones:

  1. Open Settings → Sound and vibration → Do not disturb.
  2. Select Schedule and set the time interval (for example, from 23:00 to 8:00).
  3. In section Exceptions find Applications and add Odnoklassniki to the blocked list.
  4. Activate the mode manually or wait for automatic activation according to the schedule.

On Xiaomi the path may look like this: Settings → Sound and vibration → Do not disturb mode → Rules → Add a rule → Applications → Odnoklassniki.

Important: in some versions of MIUI, DND mode blocks all notifications by default, including alarms. Before use, check your exception settings!

💡

If you need to quickly turn on Do Not Disturb mode without settings, lower the notification shade and hold the "Sound" (or "Do Not Disturb") icon until additional options appear.

5. Disabling calls through application permissions

A less obvious but effective way is restrict Odnoklassniki's access to the microphone and telephone functions. Without these permissions, the app will not physically be able to make or receive calls. Disadvantage of the method: voice messages and video calls may stop working.

How to disable permissions:

  1. Go to Settings → Applications → Odnoklassniki → Permissions.
  2. Find permissions Microphone and Phone (or Calls).
  3. Set their status Deny.
  4. Restart the application OK.

On Android 12+ you can also restrict access to Notifications, but this will completely disable all notifications from the messenger.

⚠️ Attention: After disabling permissions, the application may start asking for them again every time you launch it. If this is annoying, use alternative methods from this article.

6. Alternative methods: third-party applications and radical measures

If standard methods do not help, you can resort to more radical measures:

  • 🛡️ Firewall: Applications. like NetGuard or AFWall+ can block network access for OK, which will disable calls. Minus: messages will also stop working.
  • ❄️ Freezing an application: With Titanium Backup (requires root) or built-in function Optimization on Xiaomi you can “freeze” OK, leaving it in the system, but disabling all functions.
  • 🗑️ Deleting an account: The last resort is to delete the linked phone number in the profile settings OK. After this, calls will become impossible, but you will lose access to some functions (for example, password recovery via SMS).

For Advanced Users with root access there is another way: edit file hosts in the system, adding a line to block call servers OK. However, this requires technical skill and may interfere with other features.

💡

Third-party call blocking applications (such as firewalls) may interfere with VPN or mobile banking functionality. Use them only if other methods have not worked.

7. Frequent problems and their solutions

Even after turning off calls in the settings, users sometimes encounter calls that continue to come. Let's look at typical causes and ways to eliminate them:

Problem Possible cause Solution
Calls arrive despite disconnections in the settings Application cache is not cleared Clear the cache in Settings → Applications → OK → Memory
Call sound is heard, but there is no screen Error displaying on top of other windows Disable permission Display on top in settings OK
Calls come only from some users Exceptions in the black list Check the blocked list contacts
After updating OK, the settings were reset Bug in the new version Roll back to the previous version or write to support OK

If none of the methods helped, try reinstall application:

  1. Remove OK via Settings → Applications.
  2. Clean the folder with residual files (for example, via Files by Google).
  3. Install the latest version from Google Play.
  4. Do not restore settings from backup!

FAQ: Answers to frequently asked questions

Is it possible to disable calls in OK, but leave notifications about messages?

Yes, to do this, in the Android notification settings, disable only the category Calls, leaving them enabled Messages. On some smartphones (for example, Samsung) this is done in the section Notification types for the OK application.

Why, after blocking a user, can he still tell me call?

Most likely, you blocked him only in chat, but not in his profile. Check: open his profile in OK → More → Block. Also make sure that you have the latest version of the application - in older versions, blocking did not work correctly.

How to turn off vibration for an incoming call in OK?

Vibration can be turned off in two ways:

  1. In the settings OK: Messages → Settings → Calls and video → Vibrate on calls.
  2. At the Android level: Settings → Sound and vibration → Vibrate on calls (disable for all applications).
Will users know that I have disabled calls?

No, for the caller it will look like missed call (without notification of blocking). However, if you have completely blocked the user, they will see that their messages are not being delivered (❗ icon in the chat).

Is it possible to disable calls in OK only for a certain time?

Yes, for this use Do Not Disturb mode s schedule (see section 4). Alternatively, configure automatic switching on airplane mode at night through the app MacroDroid or Tasker.

If your problem is not solved, check if this is s firmware features your smartphone. For example, on some devices Huawei without Google services (HMS), notification settings may work differently. In this case, try using OK version for HMS from AppGallery.
