You can also block contacts by going to your Contacts and clicking on “Block this Caller” from within the contact details.

Block a Phone Number

To block a phone number that hasn’t recently called you, you’ll need to add it to your Contacts first. Once it’s added, follow the steps above to block the caller.

Use Do Not Disturb

If you want to block all calls during specific hours, you can use the Do Not Disturb feature. Go to your iPhone’s main Settings screen and click on “Do Not Disturb.” You can turn on Do Not Disturb in general, or you can schedule specific hours for it to be active. You can also choose to allow calls from certain groups, such as Favorites or All Contacts. Additionally, you can enable the “Repeated Calls” option, which allows a call to come through if it’s made two or three times within three minutes.

Blocking calls on your iPhone can help you regain some peace and quiet. By following these simple steps, you can block callers from recent calls, contacts, or just turn off calls altogether.
