Set communication limits
In iOS 13.3, iPadOS 13.3, or later, you can block incoming and outgoing communication—including phone calls, FaceTime calls, and messages—from specific contacts in iCloud, either at all times or during certain periods.
If you haven’t already turned on Contacts in iCloud, go to Settings
> [your name] > iCloud, then turn on Contacts.Go to Settings
> Screen Time.If you haven’t already turned on Screen Time, tap Turn On Screen Time, tap Continue, then tap This is My iPod touch.
Tap Communication Limits, then do any of the following:
Limit communication at any time: Tap During Screen Time, then select Contacts Only, Contacts & Groups with at Least One Contact, or Everyone.
Limit communication during downtime: Tap During Downtime. The option you selected for During Screen Time is already set here. You can change this setting to Specific Contacts.
If you select Specific Contacts, then tap either Choose From My Contacts or Add New Contact to select people you want to allow communication with during downtime.
If someone who’s currently blocked by your Communication Limit settings tries to call you (by phone or FaceTime), or send you a message, their communication won’t go through.
If you try to call or send a message to someone who’s currently blocked by your Communication Limit settings, their name or number appears in red with an hourglass icon, and your communication won’t go through. If the limit applies only to downtime, you receive a Time Limit message. You can resume communication with the contact when downtime is over.
To resume communication with contacts who are blocked by your Communication Limit settings, change the settings by following the steps above.
