If you block someone and then text them, can they text you back? And if you block them on your iPhone will it block them on your iPad too?
I have an iPhone es and a mini iPad 4.

Hello Christine,
Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Community. I understand you have questions about blocking contacts on your iOS devices, and I have some information that may help.
When you block a number or contact they cannot contact you, even by replying to a message you sent. They can send a message or dial your number, but they will be blocked by iOS. If the contact is sending you messages through SMS (text messaging), it relies on your iPhone and continuity and will be blocked. If they are sending you iMessages, you may need to block the contact on both devices. Have a look at the article below for some more helpful information.
If you run into any trouble, please reach out again.
Best Regards.
