Still receiving texts from blocked numbers

What does “regularly” mean? In your button to respond is it blue or green.

The soft reset after blocking seems to be helpful.

it’s crazy that the stalker ex was able to blow up my phone with ugly text messages after I blocked him.

Driving me insane!! Getting harassed as well. And the texts just keep coming 🤷🏼‍♂️

My phone is doing the same thing but only for Android users. I have a contact and they will not leave me alone so I thought blocking them would do the trick. Nope. They’re still messaging me. Apple needs to correct this. I did the restart after blocking so hopefully this is a quick fix. I just need the peace of mind that they can’t contact me anymore.

I started having trouble with a nuisence group tex just before Christmas. There are 20 peple in this group. One came through with the Apple ID only. Is there a way to find out the number this came from so it can be blocked and reported?

IPhones are garbage now. A lot of us are having this problem as well as having to reconnect our phones Bluetooth to the car every time we get in it. I never had these issues with my old IPhone 6 Plus. I had to upgrade because of lack of storage to the 11, but , dang, I miss that phone. My daughter x husband is on a tangent today, and I have blocked him repeatedly. The phone calls have stopped, but I am still receiving the nonstop texts.

Same issue here. I had this issue happen once on an older iPhone. It's worked until recently. Today, I tried to block someone who is harassing me and they were still able to text me. I had to go to my carrier and try to block them that way. Hopefully it works. I hate how so many people will have an issue but it will go ignore as seems to be the case here.

Same issue with iPhone 11 Pro. It’s an Android phone that is able to get through my block. This person knows how to use spy apps and all of that stuff, so I just figured this person may also know some hack to force an unblock; but after reading all your messages, I think it’s an Apple issue. Please fix this. I don’t want to read this person’s ugly, hurtful words, but if I receive it, I can’t help but read it. Grrrrrrrrrr

Why can't we turn the problem around. Instead of making infinite long lists of people I want to block, like fund raising spammers, and they get around those blocks anyway, WHY NOT ONLY ALLOW PHONE CALLS AND MESSAGES TO COME THROUGH IF THE SENDER IS IN MY CONTACTS LIST? AND THAT CONTACTS LIST MUST BE SECURED FROM HACKING.

What you’re describing is simply ’turning your phone off, and then turning it back on’ it’s not a ’soft reset.’

Anyone, correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m fairly certain of that.

In any case, I will try to ’restart’ my phone, to see if that enables blocked callers to actually be ’blocked.’

I’m still receiving text msgs from a blocked number and I’m hoping this will fix it.

Please if someone finds an answer to this to help. Because I have a stalker who just messaged me who I blocked. The notification didn’t pop up and the message was already open so I missed it in my inbox. But this is very scary!

I am not receiving text messages from banks, or Apple, trying to send me authorization codes. I get lost in all the SETTINGS trees, branches and twigs, trying to find the right one to solve a problem.

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.

not all numbers have contacts. This could be a customer, someone you just met a robocall, . Not everyone assigns contacts to every number.

It doesn't matter. You should be able to block any number.

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 ****!
