Block all contacts with exceptions

Hi,


Is there any feature in iPhones that allows to block calls and messages from all contacts and unknown numbers except a list of of selected contacts that I allow to do (for a period of time)?


If not, I would like to suggest for Apple to include this feature in future updates.

It will help a lot!


thank you.

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 16
