Yes, blocking is working but I need from other side to be realize that he/she was blocked. If possible he/she gets blocked message.


Normally he/she could not understand if blocked or not.

I don't think this is a bug. The blocked individual gets no notification of any kind that they are blocked. If they call you, they get your voice mail and, as I understand it, can leave a VM, can send you an SMS or iMessage as normal. You just never get it.

That doesn't seem to be the way Apple is doing it. The blocked party receives no notification. I can see a rationale for that: it could cause an escalation in unpleasant behavior. I suppose you could always send them a text telling them that you are blocking them and to stop trying to contact you.
