To block a number from texting you on your iPhone 11, you can follow these steps:
1. Open the Messages app on your iPhone 11. This is the app with a green speech bubble icon.
2. Find the conversation with the person or number you want to block. You can scroll through your list of conversations or use the search bar at the top to quickly find the conversation.
3. Once you have found the conversation, tap on the name or number at the top of the conversation. This will open the contact details for that person or number.
4. In the contact details, you will see an info button (represented by an “i” inside a circle). Tap on this info button.
5. Scroll down in the contact details until you see the option to “Block this Caller.” Tap on this option.
6. A confirmation pop-up will appear, asking if you are sure you want to block this caller. Tap on “Block Contact” to confirm.
7. Once you have blocked the number, you will no longer receive any text messages or calls from that specific person or number.
It’s important to note that blocking a number will also prevent any FaceTime calls or regular phone calls from that number. Additionally, the blocked person will not be notified that they have been blocked.
Blocking a number can be useful for preventing unwanted messages or calls, such as from telemarketers, spam, or individuals you no longer wish to communicate with. It allows you to have better control over who can contact you on your iPhone 11.
I personally have used this feature multiple times to block unwanted numbers and it has been effective in reducing the amount of spam or unwanted messages I receive. It’s a simple and convenient way to manage your contacts and communication on your iPhone 11.
In summary, to block a number from texting you on your iPhone 11, open the Messages app, find the conversation, tap on the name or number at the top, go to the contact details, scroll down, and tap “Block this Caller.”
