Why isn't Apple providing a feature that will allow a user to permanently block a caller or sender from iPhone, Messages and/or Mail? It is a real pain to have to clear out blocked senders every day.

No option to block a specific sender I am using iOS 13.3 on an iPhone SE. Page https://support.apple.com/en-ca/guide/iphone/iph203ab0be4/ios provides 3 steps to "Block messages from a specific person or number". When I press the "i" button for the number at the top of the message conversation, I do not see an option for "Block this Caller". The only options I see are: * Send My Current Location * Share My Location * Hide Alerts I created a contact for the offending party so that I could block them using "Settings > Messages > Blocked Contacts". Why doesn't the procedure for the webpage apply?

How do you block a number across devices? When I block a number on my phone, the messages still go through on my Mac. This has made it so I've received some unwanted messages. Is there a way to automatically have a block on one device be effective across all my devices because this has happened repeatedly. They all are signed into the same Apple ID and this is frustrating.
