My husband and I have S5's and after the Lollipop update we lost blocking mode. Where did it go? We need that feature.

Interruption is not a renamed Blocking mode, you can't add or eliminate the names you want to block...it says All or Favorite contact only or contact only. Tell me to choose the contact to Block

For crying out loud what a freaking screw up... put blocking back or keep your stupid phone. One of the most important features!!!

LifeDontWasteIt,

I want you to love your phone today just as much as you did when you first got it! I'm sorry to learn that this feature has been removed. Was this to block calls or texts? You may be able to find a third party app in the Play Store to do the same thing.

You were able to block all calls and set times and then have an exceptions list for calls to get through no matter what etc.

Is was GREAT. Have NO clue why they wouldn't continue that. NUTS.
