why is the "phone" option no longer available under settings

The "phone" option is no longer available under settings, so I'm not able to make any changes to my phone settings. I can normally block or unblock unknown callers, etc.


iPhone SE, iOS 18

You can also type “phone” in the settings search bar.

I guess when you installed iOS 18, you didn't take even a moment to read about the changes in the new iOS? The setting is there as Bob Timmons informed you. It's often a good idea to read the release notes when you download updates.........
