The quickest solution to stop getting unwanted phone calls and texts from certain people or phone numbers is to block them. If you own the newest iPhone series, you can use the stock iOS blocking feature to block someone from calling or texting on your device. Here’s a quick guide to block a phone number on the iPhone 14 smartphone.

Calls and text messages from blocked phone numbers or contacts will no longer push through. Blocked phone numbers or contacts would still be able to leave a voicemail for you though.
