How to block calls from contacts on iphone

The main operating systems of mobile phones include as standard an option that allows us to block incoming calls that we specify. While we recently explained how to block calls on Android, this time we are going to focus on mobile phones from the iPhone range of the US manufacturer Apple. Therefore, below we detail step by step how to block incoming calls on an iPhone.

To follow this tutorial we will not need more than a mobile from the iPhone range (an iPhone 5S, an iPhone 5, etc.). Nor is it necessary that we have an Internet connection on the mobile, since the entire tutorial is developed from the native application of the agenda of our terminal.

How to block incoming calls on iPhone

1. The first thing we should know is that to block a number on our mobile it is recommended that we have that number added in the agenda. That is, before starting the tutorial we should add the number we want to block to a new contact in the phonebook. If we already have the contact added on the mobile we can proceed with the second step.
2. The second step is to access the agenda of our terminal. To do this, we simply have to click on the " Telephone " icon that appears at the bottom left of the screen. Once inside this application, click on the " Contacts " tab and we should see the list with all the contacts added to our agenda.
3. Now we click on the contact that we want to block and we will see that a new screen opens with all the data of that contact. We must slide the screen down (that is, until we find the last option) and then click on the option " Block this contact ".
4. When we click on this option, a notice will be displayed informing us of the following: " You will not receive phone calls, messages or FaceTime calls from blocked contacts ". Since that is precisely what we want to achieve, click again on the option " Block contact " which will appear highlighted in red.

And in this simple way we will have managed to block our contact on the iPhone. Now we will no longer receive your calls or your messages, which will allow us to use the mobile with confidence knowing that it will not bother us at any time. If we want to completely cut off contact with that contact, we also have the possibility of blocking their number on WhatsApp, although if we don't want to complicate our lives with blocks, we can also simply hide our last connection to prevent that or other contacts from knowing at all times if we are or not connected in this application.

Of course, let's remember that the only thing we get by following this tutorial is to block a specific number, so that if that contact tries to call us using another number we will have to follow the necessary steps again to block their phone number from our iPhone.
