What Happens When You Block Someone in FaceTime?
When someone you’ve blocked attempts to contact you in FaceTime, their phone will just keep on ringing without an answer. As for your end, you won’t see any activity and you won’t know that someone is calling. Eventually, the person you blocked would give up and stop trying to call you.
Should you wish to add or remove a contact to/from your blocked list in FaceTime, just repeat the same steps to return to the FaceTime settings then access the Blocked Contacts menu.
