Limited number of blocked calling

i have reached the limit of available call blocking- that’s over 3,000 calls. I can no longer block new numbers- which is insane. I want to delete all previous blocked numbers (which is also insane). When I go to list of blocked numbers I want to edit, choose all, and delete. Which I’ve not been able to do because when I choose edit all numbers come up with red negative sign but not deleted.

HELP!

On your iPhone you can only delete blocked numbers one at a time. You can, however, remove them all if you own a Mac.


The fact you've reached the limit indicates you tend to block spam calls? If yes, blocking them is an utter, total waste of time. The number you block is NOT the number which called you. They spoof their numbers and have literally thousands of numbers, but you'll never see which number actually called.


Instead of wasting your time blocking spam calls, use the new call screening software which came out with iOS 26 and you can learn about that here --> Screen and block calls on iPhone - Apple Support
