How to block senders in Mail

iOS 13 and iPadOS 13 extend the function of blocking contacts from the Messages and Phone apps to the Mail app.

To get started, open the Mail app and find the email from the sender you want to block. Then touch the avatar to open the sender information.

Now, touch their name in the From field.

This will open the sender's contact card. From here, touch Block This Contact .

From the notification that appears next, confirm the action by touching Block This Contact .

The sender will be blocked. You will not receive new email notifications, but messages will still show up in your inbox with an icon indicating that a contact has been blocked.

Block sender options

So what if you do not want the sender's email to be blocked from being displayed in Inbox? You can do this thanks to an option in Settings to send that person's new email directly to the trash.

To enable this option, open the Settings application and select the Mail option. From here, touch Blocked Sender Options .

Now, select Move to Bin .

Any new emails from that person will be dumped directly into the trash.

How to manage and unblock senders of mail

At any time, you can unblock senders so you can receive mail from them in your inbox. To do this, open the Settings app, tap on the Mail option, and then select Blocked .

From here, find the specific contact or email you blocked. Swipe to the left of the contact and touch Unblock to undo the changes.

iOS 13 has another handy feature to block spam calls. Using the Silence Unknown Callers feature you can automatically silence calls from someone who is not in your contacts.

I wish you successful implementation!
