This has been a recurring issue, an unwanted contact that I blocked on my iPhone is still able to reach me on my laptop. Posts say to block the number, or that the number has to be a contact - either way my “block person” button is greyed out and will not allow me to block these numbers. How do I actually block people from reaching me at all?

Block messages from a specific person or number
1. In the Messages appon your Mac, select a conversation.
Note: The conversation must be with one person, not a group. Instead of blocking a group conversation, you can leave it.
2. In the menu bar, choose Conversation > Block Person, then click Block.
Manage blocked callers
1. In the Messages app
2. Do one of the following:
* Block a contact: Click the Add button, then select a name in the list of contacts.
* Remove a blocked contact: Select a name or number in the list of blocked callers, then click the Remove button.
See the Apple Support article Block phone numbers, contacts, and emails on your iPhone or iPad.
Tip: Another way to prevent unwanted people from bothering you is to set up communication with your contacts only.
Also, you can set options in Notifications settings to turn off all notifications for Messages, change how the notifications appear, and more. To pause notifications from Messages, turn on Do Not Disturb or another Focus.
Thank you.
