What happens when you block a number on your iPhone?#
Blocked calls will go straight to voicemail. That does provide the blocked caller with a clue that they’ve been blocked. Blocked callers can leave voicemails. But those will appear in a “blocked messages” section separate from your normal visual voicemail list. You will never receive blocked texts. But, for the sender, they will still appear to go through as normal.
Open the Settings app. Then tap on Phone. Select Blocked Contacts. On the next screen, you’ll see a list of phone numbers you’ve blocked. To unblock a number: Tap the Edit option and then the red - symbol next to the number you want to unblock. Or you can swipe left across any number to unblock it.
