Since it uses CallKit it doesn’t generate a huge contact to manage blocked numbers. You should get good performance on even an iPhone 5. The current database of bad numbers now has around 200,000 entries in it. | |

| Mar 3, 2018 at 17:29 | comment | added | Dave | @bmike I added an edit after realizing I didn't mention the other option I was considering -- multiple contacts with smaller amounts of numbers in each. My gut says that may be the safer approach but I'm not sure. | |

| Mar 3, 2018 at 17:23 | comment | added | Dave | @bmike I'm no Apple expert (we use Windows but own iPhones) but those are the kinds of things I'm wondering. I'm probably going to try it but I'm trying to find out if it will brick my phone or something crazy like that. So far I can't find any info on the # limit per contact, only a size limit. Which I guess I could impute a rough estimate of #s allowed, but without knowing the base size of a contact it's a wild guess at best. | |
| Mar 3, 2018 at 17:17 | comment | added | bmike♦ | I wondered for a bit how to even test this. I suppose the risk could be two fold - that you have sync issues between devices if you sync that large contact with iCloud or other cloud service and cause a crash. Then there's the idea that the code might iterate over phone numbers thinking you would only have a handful or dozen items and that would slow down an operation or an app? | |
