"Block Caller" option is missing in iOS 26.0.1 on my iPhone SE

mac ios 26.0.1 se 2022 - I try to block a phone number from the recents screen; when I press the Info button, the next screen doesn't offer a Block Caller option. Somehow this option disappeared with the iOS update to 26 or 26.0.1, why.

Plus my battery life is now terrible even after turning off all the bells and whistles. What is up with that?

Finally the correct answer - when you do this - hit home button and the whole page shows and you can block number. Thanks

I've discovered that if I repeat the pressing of the Home button and re-open the Phone app a second time, the Block Caller is there!
