Still receiving texts from blocked numbers

Has anyone found an answer to this question. I have a number blocked, double and triple checked to make sure but their texts are still coming through. What else can I do to make sure the number is in fact blocked from contacting me.

To block them as iMessages you would have to create a contact then block it. If you don't want the spam calls and texts you have to work with your cell service provider. You can turn on silence unknown callers and it will not ring.

I am too I’m getting strange text messages from numbers and other digits that aren’t really a number asking about mail and Hance meant and I am a female and when I go to try to block them turns out it’s already blocked same with a couple of numbers they continue to call me about mortgage refinance and when I go to block them turns out I’ve already blocked them but they’re still column and it’s still giving me notifications and it’s still annoying as ****!

still having this issue with only one person except i can’t send texts back as if i’m blocked as well, i’m not sure if you’ve gotten it fixed. but on iphones you can set your (Text & Receive) to multiple things. Being , if they have a Mail email , they could use that. If they have an iPad or iPod with a different AppleID, they could use that. While still getting messages on their phone.

he could have a secondary (Send & Recieve) contact he’s reaching you through. Most likely being his Apple email. All you can do is find out what that contact is and block it , or you might have to contact your service provider.

A had same problem blocked numbers getting through texts and calls and our 13 year old daughter fixed it in seconds what she done was unblocked the number then blocked them again turned phone off then bk on problem solved a actually thought a was ok with tech obviously I’m no hope this helps with your phone now as you where 😉

A have just posted how my daughter fixed my phone a had a big fall out with guys a worked with had to bloke them and they where still able to get through to me calls and texts no blue apple text green ones was driven me nuts my 13 year old took phone unblocked em then blocked em again turned phone off her problem solved no calls or texts asked my daughter how she new how to sort it she said dad you no I’m good looking and a get creepy guys popping into my messages so she figured it out now a wish a never asked her to sort it the joys of having a teenage daughter

A feel your pain have a look at my post should sort your problem it’s beautiful morning in sunny Glasgow hope it’s the same where ever you are the suns out guns out smile at the sun head up high and hope you have a smashing day 😉

if this poster is correct, the "Block this caller" feature in iOS does not block SMS messages.

Perhaps that's why apple calls the feature "block this caller" and not "block this contact/user"

Given how pervasive this issue is with iOS 14.x, we may all assume there is no way to reliably block inbound SMS from hitting your phone, as of May, 2021, without calling your provider.

lame. My Nokia 200 phone from the nineties could block messages better.

I’m also having the same issue and it’s super annoy and frustrating, I’m 17 and there’s a weirdo that’s texting me and sending me dick pics and even though I blocked him, I’m still receiving his texts!!! It’s disgusting and all I’m able to do is delete his messages and silence it

Holy cow!! Domestic violence is no joke and if I can’t block them then what am I doing??? That’s what’s going on for me BUT

i tried settings>messages> blocked contacts>add new> and I put in my spam account. Every person who texts me goes into the spam contact and then I blocked the whole contact. Still some of the numbers I put there are coming through. If they are iMessage they will be blocked from messenger, email, calling etc. then I did the soft reset. Idk if it worked yet but it’s something to try. Hope it helps you and me!

I still can’t find any solution, I moved from Samsung to apple specifically for that, with Samsung you can block a number and won’t receive another message at all but messages still going to a carpet you have to clean up, so you still seen the messages you don’t want to read to erase, apple just eliminate the message completely but if the person still texting me and I have this issue I don’t see why pay for the latest apple phone without all the goods from Samsung and still have problem but even worse!

I have iPhone 12, this is my second 12 and I didn’t have this issue with the first one but this second one does, so if you have 11 and the 12 still have the same problem means they don’t care at all about fixing this insane issue!

Ahhhhh I was considering going to a 12 as my 24 term is up but if it’s the same there is no point. And sounds like Samsung has similar issues ish.

thanks for the reply. Been driving me nuts and couldn’t work out wtf was happening..

Are these iMessages (blue bubble) or SMS (green bubble)?
