Have you ever wondered what would happen if you refused someone on the iPhone?
What actually happens?
With messages, FaceTime, and telephone apps, you can reject specific contacts.If you refuse incoming calls in one app, it will also apply to the remaining two apps.
However, just because of the block does not stop trying to contact you.
Also, Siri will not be notified by Siri, such as "Your number is rejected."
The opponent will just make a head on why you will not get a reply.
How to reject a specific contact with an iPhone message
1.To reject a specific phone number in the message app, open a conversation with the other person, tap the opponent's name (telephone number at the top of the screen), and tap the [Information] icon.
2.Tap the [Information] button and tap [Rejection of this caller] at the bottom of the screen.
Even if the person who refused to receive a call sends a text message, it will not reach you.If the other party is using iOS, the message App of the other party may not be notified of [Sending].
Also, your chat bubble may change from blue (IMESSAGE) to green (SMS) in the opponent's app.There is nothing change on this side.
The message app also has a function to filter messages from those who are not registered in the contact.
The message arrives, but it can be distributed to the receiving box called "Unknown sender".There is no incoming call notification.
When this function is turned on (Settings> Message> Filter an unknown sender), the [Unknown sender] tab will be displayed on the [Contact and SMS] tab.
How to reject calls from specific contacts in FaceTime
To block a specific phone number by phone or FaceTime, tap the [I] icon next to the phone number or contact, and tap this caller.
Contacts that have been rejected can be managed by iPhone [Settings]> [Telephone] (Message, FaceTime).If you cancel the incoming call, you will be able to receive messages, telephones, and notifications from the other party immediately.
If there is a call from the contact information that refused to receive incoming calls, it will lead to an answering machine directly.
If the other party leaves the message, it will be saved in the [Message that rejected the incoming call] folder in the answering machine (the bottom of the answering machine message list).
