If you're trying to find a way to see messages from blocked contacts on your iPhone, it’s important to understand how Apple’s blocking system works. In this video, you’ll learn why blocked messages can't be retrieved and what steps you can take if you want to start receiving messages from a blocked contact again. When you block someone on your iPhone—whether through the Messages app, Phone app, or FaceTime—the device automatically prevents that contact from reaching you in any form. This means their calls, iMessages, and SMS texts will not go through, and they won’t be stored or hidden anywhere on your phone. Unlike some apps that archive blocked messages, Apple’s iOS system is designed to completely filter them out, so they’re never delivered to your device in the first place. Because of this, there is no inbox or hidden folder where blocked messages are stored. Once a message is blocked, it’s effectively deleted before it even reaches your iPhone. This ensures that users have complete control over who can contact them, offering privacy and peace of mind. If you want to receive messages from a blocked number again, you’ll need to manually unblock the contact. To do this, open the Settings app on your iPhone, then go to Phone. Scroll down and tap on Blocked Contacts. From this list, you can tap Edit in the top-right corner and remove any contact you no longer wish to block. After unblocking, messages and calls from that contact will start coming through again—but anything sent while they were blocked remains inaccessible.
