New iOS allows you to block contacts

[WhatTheFrank]

Perfect for the unwanted verbal/textual diarrhea that gets splattered on us after the cord has been cut.

No need to change your phone # , contact the phone company, or the authorities!

And it doesn't send them a reply, they will just be talking to a wall of silence that does not respond.  Tested it out with a buddy, and you never see their calls or texts, if they leave a voicemail it tells you there is a blocked message which you can just delete.  No failure error or response on the blockee's phone.  Changed the ex's contact info to ZZZZ so they go all the way to the bottom.  Out of sight, out of mind.

I was not aware of this feature, but it will help my healing. I hope it helps others.
