If you block someone's number on your phone, the specific behavior and notifications can vary depending on the operating system (iOS or Android) and the phone model you're using. Here's a general overview of how blocking a number typically works:
iOS (iPhone):
- If you block someone's number on an iPhone, they won't receive any notification that they've been blocked.
- When a blocked person tries to call you, they will hear a few rings on their end, but your iPhone won't ring or show any indication of the call.
- The blocked person's voicemails will be stored in a separate "Blocked Messages" section, and you won't receive any notification of their voicemail.
Android Phones:
- The behavior of blocking a number on Android can vary depending on the phone manufacturer and version of Android.
- In many cases, Android phones will automatically send blocked calls to voicemail. The caller won't hear any ringing on their end, and you won't receive a notification of the call.
- Some Android phones may have additional options for blocking, allowing you to customize the blocked call behavior.
It's important to check the specific settings and options on your phone to understand how blocking works on your device. Also, be aware that blocking a number may not prevent the caller from using other methods to contact you, such as through social media or other messaging platforms.
If you're concerned about someone's persistent attempts to contact you despite being blocked, you may want to consider reaching out to your phone carrier or exploring other options to further restrict communication from that individual. Additionally, if the person's behavior is causing you distress or constitutes harassment, it may be necessary to involve authorities or seek legal advice to protect your safety and well-being.
