I keep blocking a number due to wierd texts but after a few days the phone will unblock the number.  Anyone know how I can block permanently?

I know there are still bugs in Win10 so I assume that's another you have found.

make sure you have not disabled blocked calls and sms app within the battery saver settings.

There are good number and text blocking apps for Android, and I presume Apple. Is there not one for Windows phones?

Edit: Justfound this @Anonymous. Don't know if it's of any use to you.

there are a couple, but the os has an app built in for this also.

@Curr946 Would you like to enlighten us on what the app is & what it's called

Open up phone app > click the three dots on the bottom right > select blocked calls > click the hamburger menu from the top right > blocked list > + icon bottom right.

@Anonymous, its not got a name persay, its built into the OS.

@Anonymous I believe it's called Block & Filter. It's in the link in my previous post in this thread.
