How to block people from texting and calling your iPhone -- here's how to do it
59% Informative
Spam calls and texts are on the rise from local businesses to politicians asking for money.
There's no way to mass-prevent every unwanted call, but you can use a combination of specific number bans and tools to keep them at bay.
Some of these techniques will work with Android phones too, but we're focusing on Apple phones' unique tools and security features.
You can view your list of blocked people in your iPhone settings, separated by phone numbers and email accounts.
When you block a phone number or contact, the number can still leave a voicemail, but you won't get a notification.
Messages sent to or received from blocked contacts won't be delivered.
You can also check who you've blocked in FaceTime by going to Settings > FaceTime.
