Block a Contact in the FaceTime App

Block a Contact in the Messages App
Unblocking a Contact in iPhone
You can unblock a blocked contact any time. Follow steps 1 & 2 mentioned above and click Unblock this Caller. TIP When there are too many spam calls, it becomes a challenge to block each one of them individually. Here is a tip that might help. Add all the spam call numbers to a single contact and block it. When you block a phone number or a contact, they can still leave a voicemail, but you will not receive a notification and Messages too will not be delivered. The contact will not be notified that their call or message is blocked. So feel free to block unwanted contacts and callers.
