Block calls and messages from certain people
If you’re receiving calls, FaceTime calls, messages or emails from someone you don’t want to hear from, you can block them from contacting you in the future. If you block someone on one device, they’re blocked on all Apple devices signed in with the same Apple Account.
IMPORTANT: The person you block doesn’t receive a notification that they’ve been blocked, and you can still call, message or email a blocked contact without unblocking them. However, if you were sharing your location with them, they do receive a notification that you have stopped sharing your location after you block them.
Blocking a contact in Phone, FaceTime, Messages or Mail blocks them across all four apps.
