Alternatively, you can access your blocked contacts list by going to Settings > FaceTime > Blocked Contacts. From here, you can add or remove people from your blocked list. If you want to completely disable FaceTime, you can do so by going to Settings > FaceTime and turning the switch off.

How to know if someone has blocked you on FaceTime

If you’ve been trying to FaceTime someone and the call keeps failing, there’s a chance they may have blocked you. Here are a few ways to tell:

-If you try to call them and it immediately goes to voicemail, this is a strong indication that you’ve been blocked.
-If you see “No Answer” or “Declined” when you try to place the call, this is another sign that the person may have blocked you.
-If your calls to the person always go straight to voicemail and you never see any missed call notifications from them, it’s likely you’ve been blocked.

There’s no surefire way to tell for sure if someone has blocked you on FaceTime, but if you suspect they have, your best bet is to try reaching out to them in another way (e.g., calling their phone number or sending them a text message) to confirm.
