Thank you, both of you! Will just let it be but the list is getting longer and longer due to scam calls that I do not accept, but rather block!

You are welcome.


Troubleshooting Scammers:


Along with my previous reply...


Blocking Out Spammers:

A. Use Malwarebytes Mobile Security.

The free version of Malwarebytes Mobile Security blocks popups. The paid version blocks out known spam numbers. So, consider using it. Read the following post to see how to use this software: Blocked numbers - Apple Community

Deleting Blocked Contacts:


A. All is Lost After Deletion:

If deleted, then will no longer be blocked. So, let it be, if you have many.


B. Keep a Recode, if your Want to Delete:

If you want to delete the list, then, prior to doing so, take a screenshot of your iPhone, as you scroll down, to keep a record of what is in there.
