"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?

You can find help here:

Block Caller Missing:

  • Go to Settings > Phone > Blocked Contacts and add numbers here instead
  • Or check Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions - may be blocking the option
  • Report bug here: feedback.apple.com

Battery Drain:

  • Check Settings > Battery > Battery Health - if under 80%, needs replacement
  • Turn on Low Power Mode permanently
  • Background App Refresh - turn it off completely

If nothing works, contact Apple Support here or visit a Store.
