Still receiving messages from a blocked caller in MacBook Messages — help!

I blocked a number on my iPhone but when I open up messages on my computer I can still receive messages from them. Someone please help — This is a serious loophole in privacy and protection.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.14

Hi jambon212,


We take your privacy very seriously, and understand that you've blocked a phone number on your iPhone, but are still receiving iMessages from someone through the Messages app on your MacBook Pro. To clarify, did you block all of the contact details and email address on your iPhone as well, or just the phone number? From what you're describing, it sounds like maybe only the phone number was blocked, and the contact is still able to reach you using your Apple ID email address associated with iMessage. Here's how to make sure all of your contacts are configured the way you'd like on your iPhone and MacBook Pro:


Block phone numbers, contacts, and emails on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Block texts in Messages on Mac


Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns, and we'll be happy to assist.


Take care.
