Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

I would like to block somebody completely out of my phone and delete all messages that I have either sent or received permanently. How do I do this

I would like to permanently delete some text messages from a certain person and also blocked him completely so that they can never be discovered. I am concerned for my well-being. And also being connected in anyway to this person legally. Is there a way to permanently delete everything?

There isn't a setting or anything that you can toggle just to delete information from a particular user. You have two options:


  • Go through and manually delete every contact, message, email, phone call out of your iPhone
  • Restore your iPhone as new and don't restore from a backup
