How to block a phone number? On iPhone, go to the call log, tap the 'i' next to the number, and select 'Block this Caller.' On Android, open the Phone app, tap the three dots for 'Settings,' choose 'Blocked numbers,' and add the number you want to block. This will prevent the blocked number from calling or texting you.
