Hi nira33,


We see that you have blocked a contact and they are showing up on your blocked list but messages from them are still able to get through. Making sure that you are not getting messages or engagement from contacts you don't want to hear from is very important. We're glad you reached out for help.


Start with making sure your device is backed up and then updated using the links below for both the iOS version and carrier.


How to back up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch

Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Update your carrier settings on your iPhone or iPad


Do you have any call filtering apps installed on your device? If you remove them does the issue continue?


Let the community know if those messages still come through after those steps.


Have a good day!
