Hello ios17update,


Do you have a contact saved for your significant other? If you're using Silence Unknown Callers and the contact wasn't saved or he's calling from an unknown number, it may prevent the call from coming through.


You can check for Silence Unknown Callers with the following: Detect and block spam phone calls


And this can help you to create a contact, if needed: Add and use contact information on iPhone


Do you use any apps to filter your calls? If so, we would remove the apps and then test out the issue.


Did you block the contact? Check with the steps below:


  1. Go to Settings > Phone.
  2. Tap Blocked Contacts.


Let us know if this helps out.


Take care.
