Well that is something thats needs to change on apples part. if you block someone or someone blocks you, the icons in a persons contact card should be greyed out. this can easily be added to the programming language in a future update. thanks for all the input everyone

You don't really have any right to know why someone isn't answering your calls or texts. If I block someone through my carrier's website, they aren't notified. If I simple silence the call from my phone, people aren't notified.


There are some very good reasons for not notifying someone that they have been blocked. Usually, people are blocked because they have made a pest of themselves by not listening when someone says, "I don't want to talk to you. Don't call me". Telling those people that they have been blocked could result in an escalation from pest to stalker or worse.

But, I wouldn't expect to see any change in this.
