To block text messages on your iPhone without blocking calls, follow these steps: Open the Messages app and find the conversation from the sender you wish to block. Tap into the conversation and click the contact's name or number at the top. Choose the info icon ('i'), then tap on their name or number again. Scroll down and select 'Block this Caller'. This will block messages but not calls, as iOS does not currently offer a separate option for blocking only texts while allowing calls from the same contact.
