I've done everything I can to block a contact on imessages but I still see their messages on my laptop. Please help!

Does someone know how to completely block a contact from all messaging on Apple projects? iphone, macbook and all? They're blocked on my phone but not my macbook and when I go to add them to the blocked list it doesn't work.

MacBook, OS X 10.10

Have you enabled the Messages in iCloud setting in Messages on your Mac?


See this at Menu Bar > Messages > Preferences > iMessage > Settings

Make sure there is a tick in the box labelled 'Enable Messages in iCloud' and also click on Sync Now to update the setting.


When I look at my blocked lists the iPhone list is identical to my Messages on Mac list.


The Mac Messages list is in the tab adjacent to Menu Bar > Messages > Preferences > iMessage > Settings

The iPhone list is a tad more obscure and can be seen at Settings > Messages > Blocked Contacts
