Looking for A way to block calls and texts from all non approved numbers.

As I said above. I wish to block any incoming calls and texts from all non approved numbers. I want only numbers plugged onto the contacts of the phone to be able to reach the phone. My gosl is no spam calls, or wrong numbers, or strangers who come across the numbers and call/text with nefarious purposes. No strangers calling at all. Is there a way to block this?

The phone is a Samsung galaxy Ao3s

That depends on what phone you have. For example, an iPhone can be set to do not disturb where only calls from contacts get through.

Has suggested by sandblaster, go to settings, type in do not disturb into the search space at the top. Then select the Do Not disturb option. Then turn on do not disturb. Then scroll down to where it says exceptions. One of the options is "contacts".

I have a different model Samsung but it should look something like this...
