Download Article
When you block someone on your iPhone, you're blocking someone from messaging you on Messages and calling your phone number. While you can't retrieve any messages sent while a user is blocked, you can find blocked voicemails if the blocked user leaves any. If you choose to unblock someone, you'll see their notifications again. This wikiHow will answer all your questions about blocking and unblocking someone on iMessage on your iPhone.
Things You Should Know
- Blocked users won't be notified that they are unblocked.
