To look at blocked messages on an iPhone, you can take the following steps:
1. Open your Settings app and go to Messages.
2. Scroll down to Message Blocking & Identification and select Blocked Contacts.
3. Here, you will see a list of contacts that have been blocked from messaging or calling you.
4. Select the contact you wish to view messages from, then tap Unblock this Caller at the bottom of the page.
5. Now open your Messages app again and check for any missed messages from that contact in your inbox or Archives folder (if available).
If there are still no messages in your inbox, it’s possible that they were deleted before being blocked or sent after the block was put in place – in which case they won’t be recoverable unfortunately!

How do I retrieve blocked messages on my iPhone?
Retrieving blocked messages on an iPhone can be accomplished by following these steps:
1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone and select Messages.
2. Select Blocked Contacts (or Blocked) to view a list of people you have blocked from sending you Messages or calling you.
3. Tap Edit in the top right-hand corner of the screen
4. Select the name of the contact whose messages you want to unblock, then tap Unblock in the bottom left-hand corner of your screen
5. Confirm that you would like to Unblock this contact by tapping Unblock again when prompted.
6. The messages from this person should now be visible in your Messages inbox and any future messages will not be blocked automatically unless reblocked manually.
It’s important to note that unblocking someone does not automatically add them back into your contacts list – if desired, they must be added back separately after unblocking them for future messaging purposes.
Can you see if a blocked number has tried to contact you?
Yes, you can see if a blocked number has tried to contact you. Depending on your phone provider and the type of device you have, there may be different ways to access this information.
If you are using an iPhone, go to Settings>Phone>Call Blocking & Identification. This will show you a list of all the numbers that have been blocked or identified as spam. You can then review the list to see if any blocked numbers have attempted to contact you.
If you’re using an Android device, tap the Phone icon > More Options > Settings > Block Numbers. Here again, a list of all the numbers that have been blocked will be displayed and from here, you can check for any calls from a blocked number.
If neither of these methods work for your particular device or phone service provider, I suggest searching online for specific instructions related to your device or contacting customer support for more information about how to check if a blocked number has contacted you.
Will blocked messages come through when unblocked iPhone?
Yes, blocked messages will come through when an iPhone is unblocked. To unblock a contact on an iPhone, follow these steps:
1. Go to "Settings".
2. Select "Phone", "Messages" or "Facetime".
3. Select the option to view your list of contacts that are blocked.
4. Tap the red circle next to the contact you wish to unblock and then tap “Unblock” on the pop-up window that appears. The selected contact should now be unblocked and any messages they sent while they were blocked will now come through as normal once they are unblocked.
Will blocked messages come through when unblocked?
Yes, if you unblock a contact, any messages sent to you while the contact was blocked will come through once they are unblocked. To unblock a contact, go to your messaging app’s settings and look for the contacts or blocked list option. Select the contact that has been blocked and choose "unblock." Once this is done, any messages sent while the contact was blocked should appear in your inbox.
How to retrieve deleted messages?
Retrieving deleted messages can be done in a few different ways, depending on the type of messaging platform you are using.
1. If you are using an instant messaging app like WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger, open the conversation with the person whose message you want to recover and tap the “Info” icon at the top right corner of the screen. This will open a page that contains all of your conversation history including any deleted messages.
2. If you are using text messaging on your phone, retrieve your deleted messages by opening your Message app and tapping “Edit” at the top left corner of the screen. From there, select all of your conversations and tap “Recover Messages” which should allow you to restore any deleted messages from that conversation thread.
3. For email messages, open your inbox and select “Trash” from the sidebar menu along with any other folders containing archived or junk mail. You should see a list of all emails sent to or from yourself with options to delete or restore them as needed.
If these methods do not work for whatever reason, it may be possible to contact customer support for whichever messaging service you are using in order to get help retrieving lost data if it is available on their end.

What happens when you block someone on iPhone and they text you?
If you have blocked someone on your iPhone, any messages they send to you will not be delivered. The sender will still receive a notification that the message was sent, but it won’t appear in your Messages app. If the person tries to call you, they won’t get through and their call will go directly to voicemail (if enabled).
If you find yourself needing to block someone from contacting you on your iPhone, here are some steps that can help:
1. Open the Settings app.
2. Tap Messages > Blocked > Add New…

When I block someone on iPhone what do they see?
When you block someone on iPhone, they will no longer be able to contact you using Messages, FaceTime or any other communication services. They won’t receive notifications when you call, text or send messages from your device. Additionally, the blocked person will not see your profile in their contact list and will not be able to view any content that has been shared with them.
To block someone on an iPhone:
1. Find the contact in your contacts list and select it.
2. Tap the "i" icon next to the name of the contact that you wish to block.
3. Scroll down to the bottom of their contact card where it says “Block this Caller” and tap it.
4. Confirm by tapping “Block Contact” again in the popup window that appears after tapping “Block this Caller”
5. The person is now blocked from contacting you through Messages, FaceTime or any other communication services available on your device.
It is important to remember that when you block someone they can still see past conversations but won’t be able to reply or start a new one with you via these services until unblocked again at a later time if desired
Where do blocked texts go?
Blocked texts typically go to a separate folder on your device. Depending on the type of device you have, the blocked texts may be located in a different place.
For example, if you’re using an iPhone, go to Settings > Messages > Blocked > Blocked Contacts and Messages to access any blocked messages. On Android devices, open Messages app and tap on the three-dot icon in the top right corner, select Settings > Block numbers and messages and then view all blocked messages.
If you’re having trouble locating your blocked messages, it’s best to check with your cellular provider or search online for instructions specific to your device type.
