Blocking a number on your iPhone can be a useful way to stop unwanted calls or messages from telemarketers, spammers, or other sources. Fortunately, the process of blocking a number on an iPhone is straightforward, and can be done in just a few steps.
-
Open the Phone app on your iPhone The first step to blocking a number on your iPhone is to open the Phone app.

-
Tap the (i) icon next to the number Once you've found the number you want to block, tap the (i) icon next to the number to view its details.

-
Confirm that you want to block the number Tap "Block Contact" to confirm that you want to block the number. The number will now be added to your blocked list.
If you want to block a number that's not in your recent calls list or Contacts, you can still do so by following these steps:

- Tap on "Blocked Contacts"
- Tap on "Add New..."
