How to block unwanted emails on iPhone

Unwanted emails can be annoying. Whether they are from businesses spamming you with promotional offers or it’s someone in your life that is persistently trying to contact you, unwanted emails can clog your inbox and become unpleasant.

While most spam emails do not end up in your primary mail directory, some bypass spam detection and end up in your primary folder causing you to receive endless notifications. Luckily, you can block unwanted emails from your iPhone in a few simple steps.

To block unwanted emails, open the Mail app from your Home Screen.
Next, open an email from the sender you want to block.
Tap the name of the sender. Then, tap the name listed next to From highlighted in blue.
Choose Block This Contact > confirm you want to block this contact.

Once you block a contact through the Mail app, you will not see emails from that contact again in the native Apple Mail again. Note that you will still see emails for the contact in your email provider’s app or when using a web browser.
