Prevent blocked calls and messages from being logged or stored

[teeare1]

Is there an app or method to prevent blocked messages and calls from being logged in call history or sent to a separate text message folder ? I do not want access or the ability to view later the calls and/or messages from numbers I have blocked.  The "blocking" feature seems useless if correspondence still reaches my phone.

On the phone calls if you open the phone app - tap recents then tap the 3 dots at top right hand side there is then an option to " hide " blocked calls
Am not sure about the messages

There is no way to prevent this.

I feel the same. I don't want to read messages I've intentionally blocked someone from sending. Why have they not fixed this?! It's such a basic thing, but highly irritating.

@SlightlyMiffed: If you have blocked a number, then this will prevent further messages from that contact, however you will be required to manually delete and messages you have received by pressing and holding on the message, tapping on any others, and hitting 'Delete'. 

In Google Messages, Spam and Blocked messages are archived in a separate folder, so you may wish to use this Messaging app, should you wish to hide blocked/spam messages by default in the future.
