有人用不断的电话和不请自来的消息来骚扰你。阻止此人(Blocking the person)似乎是正确的做法,但您不确定这是否会阻止此人与您联系。
在这篇文章中,我们将解释当您在 iPhone 和其他Apple设备上屏蔽某个号码时会发生什么。

但在此之前,让我们先了解一下在 iPhone 上阻止联系人或电话号码的过程。
如何在 iPhone 上阻止电话号码(Block Phone Numbers)
大约有五种不同的方法可以在 iPhone 上阻止某人。您可以阻止来自Phone/Dialer应用程序、消息(Messages)应用程序、FaceTime和邮件(Mail)应用程序的联系人。也可以通过联系人(Contacts)应用程序阻止某人。
在电话应用程序中阻止电话号码(Block Phone Numbers in the Phone app)
您是否在 iPhone 上收到烦人的电话营销电话或自动电话?(annoying telemarketing calls or robocalls)前往(Head)您设备的通话记录和联系人列表,并阻止电话背后的号码/人。
- 打开电话(Phone)应用程序,转到联系人(Contacts)选项卡,然后选择要阻止的人员或联系人。
- 滚动到屏幕底部,然后点击阻止此呼叫者(Block this Caller)。
- 在确认提示中点击阻止联系人(Block Contact)以继续。
如果号码未保存,请前往最近(Recent)选项卡,点击号码旁边的信息图标,然后选择(info icon)阻止此呼叫者(Block this Caller)。
在消息应用程序中阻止电话号码(Block Phone Numbers in the Messages app)
如果未知号码或保存的联系人不断向您发送不请自来的短信,请直接在“信息(Messages)”应用程序中阻止此人。
启动消息(Messages)应用程序并从号码打开对话或文本。之后(Afterward),点击此人的姓名或号码,点击下一页上的信息,选择(Info)阻止此呼叫者(Block this Caller),然后点击阻止联系人(Block Contact)。
阻止联系人将同样阻止与该联系人关联的所有号码。如果一张联系人卡片有多个电话号码,则此人在屏蔽该联系人后将无法通过所有电话号码联系到您。
您可以使用第三方来电显示应用(third-party caller ID apps)阻止未知号码和不需要的来电。继续下一部分,了解原生 iOS“阻止”功能如何阻止不受欢迎的电话、短信和电子邮件。
既然您知道如何在 iPhone 上屏蔽号码,那么让我们来看看当您这样做时会发生什么。
短信和 iMessage
被阻止的号码无法通过SMS或 iMessage 联系到您。被阻止的联系人发送到您的电话号码的任何消息都不会发送到您的 iPhone。
被阻止的个人可能会被其移动运营商收取消息费用。短信或 iMessage 甚至可能在被屏蔽者的设备上显示为“已送达”,但您不会收到短信。
我们应该提到,您发送给被阻止的联系人(通过 iMessage)的文本不会被传递。但是您可以向被屏蔽的号码/联系人发送SMS和MMS消息。(MMS)
电话
与短信一样,您也不会收到来自被阻止联系人的电话。当他们给您打电话时,您的 iPhone 不会响铃,呼叫尝试也不会出现在您设备的通话记录中。您也不会收到未接来电通知。
当您阻止的人呼叫您时,呼叫者会自动转到您的语音信箱。您不会收到语音邮件的通知。此外,语音邮件不会出现在电话(Phone)应用程序中语音邮件(Voicemail)选项卡的顶部。您必须滚动到 i Phone语音信箱收件箱的“已阻止消息”部分——位于语音信箱选项卡的底部。
被阻止的呼叫者也可能会收到您的号码占线或无法接通的服务响应,具体取决于您的蜂窝运营商。
FaceTime 音频和视频通话
如果您阻止的人使用FaceTime,他们将无法通过FaceTime音频和视频通话与您联系。当他们向您的号码发出FaceTime呼叫时,呼叫会在他们的设备上响铃,但您不会在 iPhone 上收到通知。
有趣的是,您仍然可以通过FaceTime音频和视频通话联系被屏蔽的号码。
邮件和 iCloud
当您在 iPhone 上屏蔽某个号码时会发生什么?iOS 会阻止与该联系人关联的所有电话号码和电子邮件地址。因此,此人将无法从Apple Mail应用程序中被阻止的地址向您发送电子邮件。
默认情况下,Mail应用程序会在您的收件箱中归档来自被阻止联系人的电子邮件。但是,电子邮件会被标记或标记——因此这些电子邮件带有标记/阻止图标。当您打开电子邮件时,您会看到一条通知消息,上面写着“此消息来自您阻止列表中的发件人”。
如果您不希望来自被阻止联系人的电子邮件发送到您的收件箱,请前往邮件(Mail)设置菜单并修改“阻止发件人选项(Blocked Sender Options)”。
转到设置(Settings)>邮件(Mail)>阻止发件人选项(Blocked Sender Options),然后在“操作”部分中选择移至垃圾箱。(Move to Trash)
这将自动将来自被阻止联系人的电子邮件归档到“邮件”应用程序的“(Mail)垃圾箱(Trash)”文件夹中。
请注意,被阻止的电子邮件地址仍然可以通过(Mind)Gmail、Outlook等第三方电子邮件应用程序向您发送电子邮件。(Don)不想在第三方应用程序中接收来自被阻止地址的电子邮件?前往(Head)应用程序的设置菜单并阻止地址/联系人。
管理被阻止的联系人
iOS 在 iPhone 的“设置”(Settings)菜单中维护了一个被阻止联系人的列表。有几种方法可以查看 iPhone 上被阻止联系人的完整列表。
转到设置(Settings)>电话(Phone),然后选择已阻止的联系人(Blocked Contacts)。
或者,选择设置(Settings)>消息(Messages)>阻止联系人(Block Contacts)。
查看此列表的另一种方法是通过Settings > Mail > Blocked。
要从列表中删除电话号码或电子邮件地址,请选择编辑(Edit),点击号码旁边的红色减号按钮,然后选择(red minus button)取消阻止(Unblock)。然后,点击完成(Done)以保存更改。
告别(Say Bye)不需要(Unwanted Calls)的电话和信息(Messages)
阻止联系人或电话号码是避免不需要的垃圾电话和消息的最佳方法。iOS 中的阻止功能可阻止来电、短信(SMS)、彩信(MMS)、iMessage、FaceTime和电子邮件。
虽然电子邮件阻止适用于所有与您的 iCloud 电子邮件相关联的Apple设备,但其他形式的阻止是特定于设备的。如果您更换手机或将SIM 卡(SIM)插入新的 iPhone 或Android设备,被屏蔽的号码可以通过电话或短信联系到您。(SMS)
此外,被屏蔽的联系人可能仍然可以通过WhatsApp、Telegram等第三方应用程序上的电话和短信与您联系。如果您不想在这些应用程序上接收来自联系人的消息,请在该应用程序中屏蔽此人的号码应用程序的设置菜单。
如果您无法通过电话、iMessage 或FaceTime联系到 iPhone 用户,他们可能已经屏蔽了您。您的电话也有可能因为用户在他们的 iPhone 上设置了“请勿打扰”而无法接通。(set up Do Not Disturb)尝试通过备用电话号码或电子邮件联系此人。如果您在几天后没有收到回复,则您可能已被此人阻止。
What Happens When You Block a Number on iPhone
There’s someone bugging you with inсessant phone calls and unѕolicited messages. Blocking the person seems like the right thing to do but you’re not sure if that will stop the person from reaching you.
In this post, we’ll explain what happens when you block a number on iPhone and other Apple devices.
[01-what-happens-when-you-block-someone-ios]
But before that, let’s walk through the process of blocking a contact or phone number on your iPhone.
How To Block Phone Numbers on iPhone
There are about five different ways to block someone on an iPhone. You can block contacts from the Phone/Dialer app, the Messages app, FaceTime, and the Mail app. It’s also possible to block someone via the Contacts app.
Block Phone Numbers in the Phone app
Do you get annoying telemarketing calls or robocalls on your iPhone? Head to your device’s call log and contact list and block the number/person behind the calls.
- Open the Phone app, go to the Contacts tab, and select the person or contact you want to block.
- Scroll to the bottom of the screen and tap Block this Caller.
- Tap Block Contact on the confirmation prompt to proceed.
If the number is unsaved, head to the Recent tab, tap the info icon next to the number and select Block this Caller.
Block Phone Numbers in the Messages app
If an unknown number or saved contact keeps spamming you with unsolicited texts, block the person directly within the Messages app.
Launch the Messages app and open the conversation or text from the number. Afterward, tap the person’s name or number, tap Info on the next page, select Block this Caller, and tap Block Contact.
Blocking a contact will equally block all numbers associated with the contact. If a contact card has more than one phone number, the person won’t be able to reach you from all phone numbers after blocking the contact.
You can block unknown numbers and unwanted callers using third-party caller ID apps. Proceed to the next section to learn how the native iOS “Block” feature prevents unwanted calls, texts, and emails.
Now that you know how to block a number on an iPhone, let’s examine what happens when you do so.
Text Messages and iMessage
Blocked numbers cannot reach you via SMS or iMessage. Whatever messages a blocked contact sends to your phone number will not be delivered to your iPhone.
The blocked individual may get charged for the message(s) by their mobile carrier. The text message or iMessage may even appear as “Delivered” on the blocked person’s device, but you won’t receive the text(s).
We should mention that text you send to blocked contacts (via iMessage) won’t get delivered. But you can send SMS and MMS messages to a blocked number/contact.
Phone Calls
Like text messages, you also won’t receive phone calls from blocked contacts. Your iPhone won’t ring when they call you, neither will the call attempt appear in your device’s call log. You also won’t get a missed call notification.
When someone you blocked calls you, the caller is automatically diverted to your voicemail. You won’t get a notification for the voicemail. Plus, the voicemail won’t appear at the top of the Voicemail tab in the Phone app. You’ll have to scroll to the “Blocked Messages” section of your iPhone’s voicemail inbox—located at the bottom of the voicemail tab.
A blocked caller might also get a service response that your number is busy or unreachable—depending on your cellular carrier.
FaceTime Audio and Video Calls
If the person you blocked uses FaceTime, they won’t be able to reach you via FaceTime audio and video calls. When they place a FaceTime call to your number, the call rings on their device but you won’t get a notification on your iPhone.
Interestingly, you can still reach blocked numbers via FaceTime audio and video calls.
Mail and iCloud
What happens when you block a number on your iPhone? iOS blocks all phone numbers and email addresses associated with the contact. Therefore, the person won’t be able to send you emails from the blocked address in the Apple Mail app.
By default, the Mail app files emails from blocked contacts in your inbox. However, the emails are marked or flagged—so those emails carry a flag/block icon. When you open the email, you’ll see a notification message that reads “This message is from a sender in your blocked list.”
If you don’t want emails from blocked contacts delivered to your inbox, head to the Mail settings menu and modify the “Blocked Sender Options.”
Go to Settings > Mail > Blocked Sender Options, and select Move to Trash in the “Actions” section.
That’ll automatically file emails from blocked contacts to the Trash folder in the Mail app.
Mind you, blocked email addresses can still send you emails via third-party email apps like Gmail, Outlook, etc. Don’t want to receive emails from blocked addresses in third-party apps? Head to the apps’ settings menu and block the address/contact.
Manage Blocked Contacts
iOS maintains a list of blocked contacts in your iPhone’s Settings menu. There are several ways to view a full list of blocked contacts on your iPhone.
Go to Settings > Phone, and select Blocked Contacts.
Alternatively, select Settings > Messages > Block Contacts.
Another way to view this list is through Settings > Mail > Blocked.
To delete a phone number or email address from the list, select Edit, tap the red minus button next to the number and select Unblock. Afterward, tap Done to save the changes.
Say Bye to Unwanted Calls and Messages
Blocking a contact or phone number is the best way to avoid unwanted spam calls and messages. The block feature in iOS prevents incoming calls, SMS, MMS, iMessage, FaceTime, and emails.
While email blocking works across all Apple devices linked to your iCloud email, other forms of blocking are device-specific. A blocked number can reach you via phone calls or SMS if you change your phone or insert your SIM in a new iPhone or Android device.
Additionally, a blocked contact may still be able to reach you via calls and texts on third-party apps like WhatsApp, Telegram, etc. If you don’t want to receive messages from the contact on these apps, block the person’s number in that apps’ settings menu.
If you can’t reach an iPhone user via phone calls, iMessage, or FaceTime, it’s possible that they’ve blocked you. It’s also possible that your calls aren’t going through because the user has set up Do Not Disturb on their iPhone. Try reaching the person through an alternate phone number or email. If you don’t get a reply after some days, you’ve likely been blocked by the person.
