Blocking phone numbers on your iPhone is a common practice to avoid unwanted calls and messages. However, there might come a time when you regret blocking a contact and want to reconnect with them. Thankfully, there’s a straightforward solution to unblock contacts directly from the Phone app settings.
If you had a contact previously saved in your phone book and blocked them, you could easily unblock them by accessing the app. However, it can get tricky if you delete the contact or can’t remember which numbers you blocked.
Instead of going through the hassle of changing your cell phone chip, your iPhone offers a simple solution. You can access the Phone app settings, where you’ll find a list of all the blocked numbers that cannot contact you. From there, you can individually unblock each contact based on your preferences.
To help you with the process, we’ve prepared a tutorial on unblocking a contact on your iPhone from the Phone app list. With this guide, you can reconnect with the contacts you previously blocked in a hassle-free way.
