How Do I Block a Contact in Messages From My MacBook?
When you block a contact in Messages, that person’s text messages won’t appear in your MacBook’s pre-installed Messages app. Even better, numbers you block on Mac will also be blocked on iPhones and iPads which are signed into the same Apple ID via iCloud! Here’s what to do:
In Messages, single click a conversation with the person you want to block. Click Conversations. Click Block Person. In the confirmation pop-up, click Block. While there’s no onscreen change to show texts from that number are blocked, rest assured the person is blocked. You won’t hear from that phone number again.
Can You Block an Unwanted FaceTime Caller on a MacBook?
Getting unwanted texts is bad, but unwanted FaceTime might even be worse. Follow these steps to block unwanted FaceTime callers:
Open FaceTime. In the Recents menu, single click a call from the person you want to block. Right click on the call. Click Block This Caller. A person must be in your contacts in order to block them. If they’re not, the Block This Caller menu doesn’t appear. To block them, click Add to Contacts first and then block them. Nothing on the screen shows the caller is blocked, but if you right-click again, the menu now reads Unblock This Caller.
