Receiving calls from unknown numbers with Focus mode on iPhone

i’ve woken up SO many times because of this issue. i’ve made my own focus settings and i have it where ONLY family members can call / text me when on the focus. well i’ve recently been added to a group with a whole bunch of people (over 10) and i have no idea who any are , they all have the same area code as me tho. i have one person in the group that i know but he isn’t in my allow settings at all. i’ve blocked everyone and reported the number as junk (the person who keeps making the calls). i’m getting really annoyed waking up at 11 at night to some stupid call.

Any Security Software?

Uninstall Security Software from your iPhone. If you are permitting calls on it, then they would make this go through.


Blocking Out Callers:

A. Use Malwarebytes Mobile Security:

The free version blocks popups. The paid version blocks out known spam numbers, and let you add them, yourself. So, consider using it. Read the following post to see how to use this software: Blocked numbers - Apple Community

B. Reporting these Callers:

Use my User: Using the Photos App to Report Scams - User Tip. You can report these scam callers; info to Apple and others.
