Why can blocked numbers still send iMessages???

I have blocked a scammer on my iPhone, but now that same number is showing up on the laptop in iMessage.


How can I block them there? I tried looking at the info button, but nothing there helped.

iPhone 15 Pro, iOS 18

If both the iPhone and Mac ar using the same Apple ID for Messages the blocked contacts should sync.


you should still be able to block contacts on the Mac by clicking the number at thew top of the message and then on there red "Block Contact" option.


Or from the Conversation Menu -> Block Person.
