If your issue has nothing to do with Teams application or Microsoft, but concerns regular iPhone phone calls, then you should post your question on the Apple support site.

I don't have Teams installed on my phone.

Please follow Ruwim.B answer for more information since you do not have Teams on your phone
Thank you
They are unsolicited calls labeled "Potential Spam".
Have you received these calls on Teams application? If so, then what is the version of the Teams application installed on your iPhone?
The procedure described about is exactly what I have been doing. Prior to IOS 27, the Block Contact worked. After IOS 27, tapping Block Contact produces nothing.
Are these calls Teams calls or just regular phone calls?
Hi @Glenn Woody
In Microsoft Teams Free on iPhone, you should be able to block someone by opening Chat, tapping and holding the contact, and selecting Block.
Since this stopped working immediately after the iOS update, please try:
Could you also confirm whether Block is missing, greyed out, or selectable but does nothing? Please also specify whether this is a regular chat contact or a community member, as the steps differ.
Thank you for your time
Hi @Glenn Woody
Have you had an opportunity to review the answer shared earlier?
Any update you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
This happens when I have received an unwanted call labeled "Potential spam" and want to block it on the contact page it shows up in. Block Contact shows as available and active.
Thank you for clarifying. Since the call is labeled "Potential Spam” and appears on the iPhone contact or call-details page, this sounds like a regular phone call handled by iOS, rather than a Teams contact.
Please open the Phone app, go to Recents, select the information button next to the number, scroll down, and choose Block Caller. You can also manage blocked contacts under Settings > Privacy & Security > Blocked Contacts. Apple documents both methods here: Block phone numbers, contacts, and emails on iPhone.
Disclaimer: Microsoft provides no assurances and/or warranties, implied or otherwise, and is not responsible for the information you receive from the third-party linked sites or any support related to technology.
If Block Contact remains unresponsive after the iOS upgrade, the issue is likely with the iPhone interface rather than Teams. As a workaround, you can enable spam filtering under Settings > Apps > Phone > Call Filtering, or report the behavior to Apple Support.
The Teams blocking option applies specifically to people contacting you through Teams Free.
