How to view blocked phone numbers list on iPhone

You should block a number on your iPhone if you keep getting spam calls. However, sometimes you may accidentally block the wrong person and will need to unblock them to start receiving calls and messages from them again. This article will show you how!

How to View and Unblock Blocked Numbers on iPhone

When you block someone on your iPhone, they can't call, text, or FaceTime you. Your iPhone will send the blocked contact directly to voicemail without notifying you of any missed calls or messages from them.

Your iPhone uses the same blocked list for phone calls, text messages, iMessage, and FaceTime. If you want to unblock someone, all you have to do is remove their number or contact information from this list. Here’s how:

1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
2. Go to Apps > Phone > Blocked Contacts to see all blocked contacts on your iPhone.
3. Swipe left on a contact you want to unblock.
4. Tap Unblock to remove the person from your blocked list.
