To unblock a user, simply tap the Edit option in the top-right corner of the Blocked Contacts page, followed by the red subtraction sign directly beside the user you wish to unblock. Afterward, tap the red Unblock button to confirm the changes. Alternative blocking method: Tap the Phone icon while viewing the home screen, select either all calls or missed calls and tap the information icon to the right of the number you wish to block.
Now, scroll to the bottom of the resulting info panel, and tap the blue Block this Caller option, followed by Block Contact to confirm the request.
Not everyone has the option to upgrade to the latest iOS version given the hardware limitations of older devices. Important note: Jailbreaking your iPhone voids your warranty and opens your smartphone up to a slew of stability and security issues. If this is even slightly worrying to you, please avoid this route. Step 1: Navigate to the iBlacklist app — To begin, tap the Cydia icon on your phone, search for iBlacklist in the search tab, and select the app from the search results.
If not, refer to our guide on how to jailbreak your iPhone to unlock the alternate store. Step 2: Download and install the iBlacklist app — Follow the on-screen instructions for downloading and purchasing iBlacklist. When done downloading, click Close Window to close Cydia and return to your homescreen.
You may have to restart your phone before the changes will take effect. Step 3: Block the number: Scroll through your apps to find the iBlacklist icon and open up the app. Tap Blacklists from the main menu to access your current blacklisted groups and numbers. To add a new number, tap Add new Blacklist , and select Import from Address Book to block an entire contact list.
Alternatively, select General BL , and tap the addition sign in the upper right-hand corner to add individual contacts from your address book, recent calls list, or recent SMS list, or to manually enter a number and accompanying contact info. Set the switch to On to block incoming calls from that contact. You can choose to accept the call, immediately accept and hang up, send the caller straight to voicemail, issue a busy signal, or block the call before your phone even rings.
When finished, close the contact and the changes will be automatically saved. Although iBlacklist is the best option for blocking calls for those lacking the latest iOS, it may not be the most enticing. The built-in Do Not Disturb mode in iOS can accomplish the blocking task to a certain degree, but it essentially works in reverse. Instead of receiving incoming calls from everyone but the contacts you block, the tool will actually block incoming calls from everyone but the contacts you allow.
This option is available for older devices compatible with iOS 6 or later. Afterward, ensure your device is connected to a power source, and tap the Download and Install button. Step 3: Set the utility specifics: Once opened, you can schedule the mode to automatically turn on during specified hours of the day and select the contacts you wish to receive calls from.
Simply choose the Allow Calls From option and choose favorites to allow calls from contacts on your favorites list. Calls from unknown numbers are silenced and sent to your voicemail, and appear in your recent calls list.
If an emergency call is placed, Silence Unknown Callers will be temporarily disabled for the next 24 hours to allow for your iPhone to be reached. Phone numbers that appear under Blocked Contacts are numbers that you manually block. If there's a match, iOS displays the identifying label chosen by the app, for example Spam or Telemarketing. If the app determines that a phone number is spam, it may choose to block the phone call automatically.
Incoming calls are never sent to third-party developers. If you determine that a number is from a spam caller, you can block the number manually on your device.
Phone numbers that you manually block appear under Blocked Contacts. If you no longer want to use the app, you can remove it. Information about products not manufactured by Apple, or independent websites not controlled or tested by Apple, is provided without recommendation or endorsement.
