On the More Info screen  in the recent call lists, there has always been a call 
blocking feature.  And, no, you don't have to keep them in the recent call 
list.  They are added to a blocked caller list.
So, feel free to delete the recent calls that you have blocked.

In iOS 13, there is a new Silence Unknown Callers feature that allows calls 
from people who are not in your contacts to show up in the recent call list, 
and even leave a voice mail, but you are not aware that they called until you 
check the phone app.

That way, if it is someone you know calling from a different number, they can 
leave a message and you can then add their number to your contacts; or if it is 
a doctor's office calling from a different line, they can leave a message, etc.
But, if it is a spam call, you can then block that number from the recent calls 
list More Info.
One of the new features in iOS 13 I really like.

Some people do not like it because if a family member or friend were in an 
emergency and called from a separate number, it would be silenced, so it is 
something you can turn on or not under the phone settings.

HTH,

Hello list
I did not know about this feature. I assume the number is blocked as long as 
one keeps it in the recents section, i.e. when one deletes it from there the 
blocking is gone?
