Instead of blocking, set communication limits
In Screen Time, you can either allow or block communication—including incoming and outgoing phone calls, FaceTime calls, and messages—from certain contacts in iCloud, either at all times or during certain periods.
If someone who’s currently blocked by your Communication Limit settings tries to call you or send you a message, their communication won’t go through.
If you try to call or send a message to someone who’s currently blocked by your Communication Limit settings, their name or number appears in red in your list of recent calls or messages, and your communication won’t go through. You can communicate with them when the communication limit is changed. If the limit applies only to downtime, you receive a Time Limit message. You can resume communication with them when downtime is over.
To resume communication with contacts who are blocked by your Communication Limit settings, change the settings by following the steps above.
