How do I block a sender on messages on my Mac

How do I block a sender on messages on my Mac? I've blocked them on my iPhone but now I'm getting messages on my Mac and can't block them.

Hi there Mossback2002,


It sounds like you are experiencing some difficulties ensuring a contact is blocked. We understand that it's important to be able to rely on your devices configuration and we are here to help with some recommendations that should get your pointed in the right direction.


Based off of the information you provided, we think you'll find the following resources helpful in reviewing how you have set up your device to block contacts:

Block texts in Messages on Mac


If adding that contact to the blocked list in Messages doesn't stop those connections from being made, you might try adding it to the blocked list in FaceTime as well. To do that, go to FaceTime > Preferences > Blocked and click the '+'.


Also, please ensure your devices are updated.

If you need further guidance on how to ensure your macOS software is updated, you may find the following resource helpful:
