Hi, when i go onto a website and click the phone number, this message appears:
"this website has been blocked from automatically starting a call iphone - Ignore | Allow"
I built the website and it doesn't happen on any others i built, the phone number is the one on the footer, any ideas?
:-)
iPhone 6, iOS 10.1.1
I was having this issue too, after playing around I realized it's a safari feature. For any phone number you click, you get the option of call or cancel. If you hit cancel 3 times safari assumes that the website is creating unwanted call requests, and starts creating the message you listed. If you hit the Allow button it will reset the block flag and give you call | cancel again.

How did you know about this feature?
It would be appreciated if you could tell me any links that mentions about it.
No it isn't. It just confuses the visitor (potential customer) who then leaves to find a different service provider that doesn't appear "sketchy".
Safari asks to either Call or Cancel anyways. No need for the double message. Apple is going down hill since they eliminated Jobs (RIP).
Even their 2-step-authentication is crap! It asks me to confirm and sends the auth code to the same computer I'm using. OMG Apple!
I'd revert to windows but... RANT!
Is there anyway to disable this feature?
No. It's a very important security feature.
I had the same issue, I went into my iPhone settings Safari and cleared History and Website data ! It worked for me. Give it a try.

Looks like this error occurs if you have set target="_blank". Set it to _self, or leave the parameter out.
