Blocking contacts/messages feature not working Hi! I can’t block contacts and their messages and keep receiving spam. I’ve tried rebooting my phone, like somebody here recommended, but it’s still not working. I’m trying to block by Icon button and Block This Caller, but as soon as I hit Done and go back to check the info, it still says Block This Caller instead of Unblock.

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. Pierpaolo

There is a known bug that affects the iPhone SE second and third generation devices. I don't believe it was corrected with iOS 26.3.1. Apple is aware of the issue.

If that's not what you're referring to, you need to provide an actual description of the problem. "Not working" is too vague to address.

What exactly does “not working” mean?
