I just got a new Samsung s20fe 5G 

When using messaging I no longer have the option to quickly block a contact. 

Previously I could select the contact of the message and block that contact using a readily available option under settings for that contact. 

Now I have to manually enter a phone number under different setting screen. This is a considerable loss in ease & functionality I have enjoyed on Samsung messages for many years.

I have attached a screenshot of my Samsung s10e showing the readily available BLOCK contact menu right from the messaging app. Just selecting the contact and "MORE"

Even though the phone is no longer supported, you should still be able to block a contact directly from the contact's info screen, it's just a longer list. What version of the contacts app do you have?  The settings and features in the messaging app should be the same in the S10 and S20.  They are equally as old.  If it's a contact you are trying to block, just go find the contact in your contact app and block them from there.  You should still be able to block the contact from within the message that was received. What you are showing is a screen shot of the contacts app screen.
