How to see blocked contacts on an iPhone

Method 1: Check the blocked contacts list

The first method to see blocked contacts on an iPhone is to check the blocked contacts list. Follow these simple steps:

1. Go to "Settings" from your home screen.
2. Scroll down and select "Phone".
3. Tap "Blocked Contacts".

In this section, you will see all the numbers that you have blocked on your iPhone. If there are no numbers, then you have not blocked anyone.

To unblock a contact, tap the "-" icon next to the number you want to unblock and then tap "Unblock".

Remember that after unblocking a contact, you may need to restart your phone for the changes to take effect.

This method is very useful if you want to know which numbers you have previously blocked and want to remove them from the blocked contacts list.

However, this method does not allow you to see if someone has blocked you. In that case, you will need to use other methods described in this article.

Method 2: Check text messages

Another way to check if a contact has been blocked on your iPhone is to check the text message history.

If you have blocked someone, you will no longer receive their messages and will not be able to send messages to that person. However, if the contact has blocked you, you will still see the conversation in your message list, but you will not be able to access the contents of the conversation.

Here's how to check:

• Open the Messages app on your iPhone
• Find the contact you suspect has been blocked
• Click on the conversation with that contact
• If you only see the scroll bar without any content, it means that the contact has blocked you
• If instead you see all messages prior to the date when you stopped receiving responses from the contact, then you have not been blocked

Remember that this method only works if you have already had a conversation with the contact in question. If you have never talked to that person via iMessage or SMS, there will be no message history to display.

In addition, if you deleted the conversation with that contact before being blocked, you will not be able to see if you have been blocked or not.

Checking text messages is a simple way to understand if you have been blocked on iPhone, but it is not always 100% reliable. If you have doubts about the situation, also try method 1 or ask directly the contact in question.

Method 3: Check recent calls

Another way to understand if a contact is blocked on your iPhone is to check recent calls. If you received a call from a contact that you suspect has been blocked, you can verify it this way:

1. Go to the "Phone" app on your iPhone.
"""

• Tap the "Recents" button.
• Search for the number of the contact you want to verify.
• Tap the "i" icon next to the contact's number.
• Scroll down and look for "Block and Caller ID".

If you see "This Contact is Blocked", it means that you have indeed blocked that contact on your iPhone. In this case, you will need to manually unblock them in order to receive their calls again.

Remember that this method only works if you have received a call from that contact after blocking them. If you haven't received any calls, you may need to use one of the previous methods to check if the contact has been blocked or not.

How to Unblock a Contact on iPhone

If you have accidentally blocked a contact on your iPhone and now want to unblock them, here are the steps to follow:

1. Open the "Settings" app on your iPhone.
2. Scroll down and tap "Phone".
3. Tap "Blocked Contacts".
4. Find the contact you want to unblock and tap the red "-" button next to their name.
5. Tap "Unblock" to confirm your choice.

After completing these steps, the contact will be unblocked and you can receive calls, messages, and FaceTime from them again.

Remember, when you unblock a contact, the previous conversation or call history is not automatically restored. You will need to start a new conversation or call with that contact if you want to talk to them again.
