Can't block easily caller on iPhone SE after iOS 26.3 update

Hello, I have just updated my SE iPhone with iOS version 26.3.

I do not find the button used since yesterday to block a call from a specific new number, probably spam ... before the last sw update I easily found this option in the lower part of the missed call screen, just press on "block this caller" and the job were done. Easy.

Now, apparently I should add the caller (a spammer) to my contacts and then block it.

Hope this is a bug, otherwise that would be crazy ... !

Anyone else had a similar experience?

Thanks and regards.

There have been other threads on this as well and one person contacted Apple Support who acknowledged this is an issue which will need to be resolved on the Apple side. Until then, you'll need to save the call as a contact, then you can block the number and then delete the contact. Extra steps for sure, but until it's addressed on the Apple side, that may be your best solution.

To make sure this issue is still on Apple's radar, use this link to provide feedback to Apple directly --> https://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone/
