If you’re being bothered by an irritating person, and don’t want them to contact you anymore by any means, blocking their number is the best option. When you block a contact, they can’t contact you via calls, text messages, or FaceTime.
The contacts remain blocked until you manually unblock them, or reset your iPhone to the factory settings.
The process of blocking or unblocking a contact is simple. Here’s how:
Tap Edit from the top-right corner of the Call Blocking & Identification window, tap the – sign next to the contact’s name you want to unblock, and tap Unblock. This removes the contact’s name from the block list, and the person will now be able to reach you via phone calls, text messages, or FaceTime.
