How to Unblock Numbers on iPhone

If you have accidentally blocked a contact on your iPhone or if you have changed your mind and want to unblock someone, don’t worry, it’s an easy process. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to unblock numbers on your iPhone.

Method 1: Unblocking from the Phone Settings

If you have blocked the number from your phone settings, follow these steps to unblock it:

  1. Open the “Settings” app on your iPhone.
  2. Scroll down and tap on “Phone” (or “Messages” if you have blocked the number from there).
  3. Tap on “Blocked Contacts”.
  4. You will see a list of all the contacts you have blocked. Find the contact you want to unblock and tap on it.
  5. On the contact’s details page, scroll down and tap on “Unblock this Caller”.
  6. A confirmation pop-up will appear. Tap “Unblock Contact” to confirm.

Congratulations! You have successfully unblocked the number from your phone settings.

Method 2: Unblocking from Messages App

If you have blocked a number directly from the Messages app, follow these steps to unblock it:

  1. Open the “Messages” app on your iPhone.
  2. Find a conversation with the blocked contact or start a new conversation by tapping on the compose button in the top-right corner of the screen.
  3. In the conversation thread, tap on the contact’s name or number at the top of the screen.
  4. A pop-up menu will appear. Scroll down and tap on “Unblock this Caller”.

Well done! You have successfully unblocked the number from the Messages app.

Additional Tips:

  • If you unblock a contact, they will be able to call, message, and FaceTime you again.
  • If you have blocked a contact and want to prevent them from contacting you again, consider using the “Do Not Disturb” feature or explore third-party blocking apps from the App Store.

That’s it! You now know how to unblock numbers on your iPhone using both the phone settings and Messages app.

Remember that unblocking a contact allows them to reach out to you again, so make sure you want to remove the block before proceeding.
