Oh, they think they’re clever, sliding into your DMs via SMS? Open your Messages app and open that pesky conversation.
Tap the three dots in the top corner (or the contact’s name at the very top). Select “Details,” then “Block & report spam.”
The conversation will vanish like a bad dream. Poof. And if you change your mind later? Just go back to that same settings menu and unblock them. You hold the keys.
A tiny warning (because life is funny)
Blocking someone doesn’t delete their past voicemails or texts—just stops new ones. So if you have a cringey message from 2019, you’ll still need to delete it manually. Consider it a spring cleaning exercise.

Also, if you block a contact, they’ll usually hear a single ring then get sent to voicemail—they’ll never know you blocked them. You’re a ghost now.
