App to silence work calls

[mark1972]

I am looking for an app where I can add all my work numbers to a group so they will be silenced out of work hours. Is there anything like this out there?

Welcome to Android Forums.

A profile developed in Tasker will be able to do that.

I downloaded Tasker but after an hour trying to figure it out I'm no closer to it doing what I want. Surely there must be an app to mute a specific group at a specific time of day?

Don't feel bad. I'm a retired old school programmer and I've never been able to program Tasker to do anything for me either.

Not available on my phone so I can not test it for you.

You need a call blocker app that can use contact groups as an input. That way you ensure that all your work contacts are in a seperate group(s) and block those at certain times. I use ... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ryosoftware.callsblocker&hl=en ... which can do this. This app is a little crude in that you do hear the phone ring once (or I do on an S4 running GPE 5.0.1) but it then gets shunted to VM. There are others you can get that can disconnect the call completely but you'll have to 'search' for those. Plenty of threads on call blockers on this forum.
