Unlike some other smartphones, iPhones don’t display a list of blocked callers directly. However, you can access your blocked contacts list to see who you’ve blocked from calling or messaging you. Here’s how:
1. Open the Settings App: Locate the familiar gear icon on your iPhone’s home screen and tap to open the Settings app.
2. Navigate to Phone or Specific Apps: There are two main ways to access your blocked contacts list:
- Phone: This is the most general option. Tap on the “Phone” option within the Settings app.
- Specific Apps (Messages, FaceTime): If you only want to see blocked contacts for a specific app like Messages or FaceTime, you can navigate to those individual app settings instead. For Messages, tap on “Messages,” and for FaceTime, tap on “FaceTime” within the Settings app.
3. Find the Blocked Contacts Section:
- Phone: Once you’ve selected “Phone” in Settings, scroll down until you see a section labeled “Blocked Contacts” or “Call Blocking & Identification.” Tap on this section.
- Specific Apps: Within the settings menu for Messages or FaceTime, look for a section titled “Blocked Contacts” or similar wording. Tap on this section.
4. View Your Blocked Contacts: This screen will display a list of all the phone numbers and email addresses you’ve blocked from contacting you. You can swipe left on a contact to unblock them if needed.
Remember: Blocking someone only prevents them from calling or messaging you directly. They might still be able to leave voicemails (depending on your voicemail settings) or send messages that will appear in a separate “Filtered Messages” section within the Messages app.
