My phone is set to reject unknown callers. However, an unknown number that I had also blocked came through and rang on my phone. My IOS is 16.6. Why were the functions by-passed?

Troubleshooting Rejecting Unknown Callers:
A. View Contacts Search Bar:
Go into the Contacts app and type the number in the top. If it pops up, then it is assigned as a contact. So, black the contact.
B. Use Malwarebytes Mobile Security:
The free version blocks popups. The paid version blocks out known spam numbers, and lets you add number to the block list. So, consider using it.

You are most welcome. It is lovely software.
Scan your Mac for Malware: Malicious Software:
Malware is malicious software that makes your device act in a mislead-manor. Malwarebytes can be used on a Mac, even: Download it Here: MalwareBytes for Mac. Then update MalwareBytes for Mac and run it.
Thank you for your fixes. I was un aware about Malwarebytes.
