• Then, Phone

The one drawback of enabling this feature is that it can end up blocking genuine callers if they are not listed in your Contacts List.

If you want to Block Calls for someone who is known to you and showing in your Contacts List, you can Block Calls from this person by going to the Contacts tab in the iPhone App.

On the Contacts screen, select the Name or Number of the Contact that you want to block. On the next screen, scroll down and tap to Block this Caller.

On the confirmation pop-up, tap on Block Contact to confirm.

Solution # 4. Block Anonymous Private Number Calls on iPhone

Oops! Some Telemarketers and Spam callers may hide their caller ID, in that case, the Phone Number of the Caller will be showing as a Private Number on your iPhone.

Unfortunately, the Call blocking feature on iPhone gets easily bypassed, if anyone calls your device using Hidden Caller ID or uses some other way to hide his/her Phone number. So what would be the solution?

Don’t worry we are here for you. The only way to block Private Phone Numbers on iPhone is to put your device in DND mode (Do Not Disturb Mode) and allow only Calls from your Contacts during DND Mode.

• Go to Settings 
• Focus 
• Do Not Disturb
• Move Do Not Disturb toggle to ON Position
• and tap on People tab.

On the next screen, tap on Calls From and select All Contacts option

After that, your iPhone will only allow Calls from people who are listed on your Contact List, all other Calls from Unknown or Private Number callers will be blocked.

Another good feature of this configuration is that genuine Callers who are trying to reach you would be able to leave a voicemail message for you and you will also get missed Call Notifications.
