Block unwanted callers in FaceTime on iPad
You can block FaceTime calls and Group FaceTime calls from unwanted callers, and silence calls from unknown callers.
Block one-to-one FaceTime calls from unwanted callers
When you receive an unwanted FaceTime call, you can block the caller (iPadOS 17.4 or later).
Do one of the following:
In your FaceTime call history or during a FaceTime call: Tap
next to the call you want to block, then tap Block Caller.
In your FaceTime call history or in the Recents list in the Phone app on your iPhone: Swipe left on the call you want to block, then tap
.
Tap Block.
To unblock a contact, tap next to the contact’s name, phone number, or email address in your call log, scroll down, then tap Unblock Caller.
After you end a call from an unknown caller, if you see a screen with “Call Ended” at the top, you can tap Block Caller to prevent further contact from that caller, or tap Create Contact to add the caller to your contacts. If you choose Block Caller, you can also report the call as spam.
Block Group FaceTime calls from unknown callers
When you receive an unwanted Group FaceTime call with unknown callers, you can block all participants by doing one of the following (iPadOS 17.5 or later):
While the call is ringing: Tap the left side of the notification to expand the window, tap
at the top of the screen, then tap Block All Participants.
During a Group FaceTime call: Tap
at the bottom of the screen, then tap Block All Participants.
After a Group FaceTime call has ended: Go to your FaceTime call history. Swipe left on the call, tap
, then tap Block All Participants.
The option to block all participants isn’t available if the Group FaceTime call includes someone in your contacts list.
Silence FaceTime calls from unknown callers
Go to Settings > FaceTime > Silence Unknown Callers, then turn on Silence Unknown Callers.
This setting ensures that you’ll receive FaceTime calls only from your saved contacts, people you’ve called before, and people suggested by Siri. Calls from unknown numbers go to voicemail and are displayed on the Recents list.
