How to See Blocked Messages on iPhone?

[Niagrimes]

Does anyone know how to view blocked messages on an iPhone? I’ve accidentally blocked someone and now I’m not sure how to check if I’ve missed any messages. Any tips?

You can’t view messages that were blocked while the number was blocked. After you unblock someone, you’ll only see new texts—they won’t show past blocked ones.

On iPhone, you can’t see messages from numbers you’ve blocked—they’re automatically filtered out and not delivered.

If you want to check messages, you’d need to unblock the number:

1. Go to Settings → Phone → Blocked Contacts.
2. Find the number and tap Unblock.

After that, new messages from that contact will come through, but messages sent while blocked aren’t recoverable.

You can’t view blocked messages on an iPhone. Once a number is blocked, calls and messages from that contact are completely stopped and not stored anywhere. To receive their messages again, you must unblock the number, but past blocked messages cannot be recovered.

You cannot see blocked messages on an iPhone because Apple completely stops calls and texts from reaching your device once blocked. To receive messages again, you must unblock the contact, after which new texts will appear normally.

It is impossible to read messages that have been blocked on an iPhone. After blocking a number, not only the phone calls but also the messages from that particular contact are completely cut off and are thus not kept anywhere. In order to be able to get their messages again, you have to unblock the contact, however, the messages that got blocked before cannot be retrieved.

Blocked messages can't be viewed on an iPhone. To see future messages but not have recourse to messages sent before blocking, unblock the sender in Settings > Phone > Blocked Contacts.

On an iPhone, blocked messages are immediately discarded and cannot be viewed or recovered, even after unblocking the contact. They are not stored in a separate folder like a spam or junk folder. You can only view the list of contacts you have blocked.
