Blocking contact does not show blocked status

Running iOS 26.0.1 on an iPhone 15

When I get a text from an unknown number I have the ability to click the number and there is an option to block contact. I click the "Block Contact" button. And there is no update to the status. It will be helpful to get status from the button that explicitly states "contact blocked" At this time I am not clear the number is blocked.

ios 26 not turning call filtering off Apple jumped the gun and released iOS 26 too early. The Call Filtering and Message Filtering (unknown numbers) is a nice idea, but “On” should have NEVER BEEN THE DEFAULT. I need unknown numbers to come through: main calling lines from businesses, support lines, etc. like the “Outgoing only” numbers coming to my phone from the bank. let user choose whether or not we want to use the feature. ESEPCIALLY since even though I’ve turned OFF call filtering, and I cannot answer unknown numbers even Apple Support tried calling me back to help, and it sent Apple straight to voicemail since I don’t have the number saved in my contacts. Massive Fail Apple.
