Block a phone number, contact or email address
There are a few ways you can block phone numbers, contacts and email addresses.
Phone
If you're in the Phone app under Recents, tap the Info button 
next to the phone number or contact you want to block. Scroll down, then tap Block this Caller.
FaceTime
If you're in the FaceTime app, tap the Info button next to the phone number, contact or email address you want to block. Scroll down, then tap Block this Caller.
Messages
If you're in Messages, open the conversation, tap the contact at the top of the conversation, then tap the Info button 
. Tap info 
scroll down, then tap Block this Caller.
If you're in the Mail app, open the email that has the contact you want to block, then tap the contact at the top. Tap Block this Contact.
When you block a phone number or contact, they can still leave a voicemail, but you won't get a notification. Messages that are sent or received won't be delivered. Also, the contact won't receive a notification that the call or message was blocked. When you block an email address from Mail, it goes to the Bin folder. Email blocking works across all of your Apple devices.
You can also enable settings to block spam phone calls.

Report spam or junk mail in the Messages app
You can report iMessages that look like spam or junk mail from the Messages app. If you receive an iMessage from someone who's not saved in your Contacts, you'll see a Report Junk link under the message.
Tap Report Junk, then tap Delete and Report Junk. Messages will forward the sender's information and the message to Apple, as well as delete the message from your device. You can't undo deleting a message.
