I¡¯m a messy housekeeper. Yesterday a message popped up telling me my voicemail box was almost full. So, I began erasing them (and there are LOTS)! But in the process I discovered that I¡¯m not really ERASING them, just relegating them to Limbo in the category of ¡°Deleted Messages.¡± Up in the right corner of my screen in that category there¡¯s a ¡°Clear All¡± button, but I have no clue whether pressing that would empty just the deleted messages or erase ALL my stored voicemail! I¡¯m on iOS 18.3.1. Does anyone know which is the case?
I also discovered that there¡¯s another repository, of ¡°Blocked Messages,¡± the very purpose of which eludes me. I discovered that yes, those messages really ARE there, creating a scenario where I¡¯ve ¡°told¡± my phone not to take calls from those numbers, but the callers probably think I was just temporarily unavailable and likely will get back to them. Am I missing some useful bit of social engineering there?
Thanks so much,
Jim Robertson
