An ex won’t stop messaging me and I tried blocking them but for some reason the messages are still going through. Any idea why this is? iPhone 10 in case that matters

I assume the ex is in your contacts. If so, you have to block the contact.

You control your contacts, you just have to figure out where they are backed up (i.e., google contacts) and make sure they are deleted there as well.

With that said, I always liked to keep those numbers and change the name to Do Not Answer in case it got through somehow.

As the other poster mentioned, you need to go into the contact to block it from the contact.

Just turn off notification, but still allow the messages to come through. That way you have all the threats and craziness in writing for when shite hits the fan and you get accused of something you didn't do.

I had an ex-employee keep texting me one time after they quit and stormed out. Like 100+ texts over the course of a night. I thought about blocking him, but instead just muted him. Most of it was just drunk "kiss my arse" type stuff, but then he decided to extort me. I never had to do anything with that threat, but I was glad I had that one in writing.

Have a cop call her. And if she continues, have same cop issue telephone harassment warrant. Profit.
