Recent tag on blocked number

I have a number that I blocked and on that number it has a tiny box that says recent. I think I may have accidentally called the number by mistake but that was while the number was blocked. Does this mean they tried to call me or is it showing up because I accidentally called them while the number was blocked?

Hi _girlygirl_,


We understand you have questions about a recent call.


You can determine whether the call was incoming, or outgoing, by tapping the blue "i" beside the call.


We hope this helps!

Thanks for keeping the thread up to speed _girlygirl_,


When you block a phone number or contact, they can still call, and they are able to leave voicemail. Blocking the contact prevents you from

receiving a notification of the call. Additional information is available, here: Block phone numbers, contacts, and emails on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


To be sure we understand, when you followed the steps in the previous post, did you not see a record of the call at all in recently, and only find it under Blocked Contacts? Recent outgoing calls would appear under the Recent tab.


Take care!
