Earlier, we wrote about blocking a phone number on your iPhone. However, when you block someone from calling or texting you, it doesn’t have to be a permanent decision. Chances are you’ve already changed your mind. Here’s how to unblock a phone number on an iPhone.
Note:The method below only works if you have used iOS in the past to block someone. Many operators around the world offer a free or paid feature that allows you to prevent someone from contacting you. The only way to reverse your decision in such a case would be to contact the operator again.
In this article, Niketrainers.com.co will tell you:
1. Use the phone application
If you’ve blocked a recent call, they probably have their number in the “Recent Calls” list. In this case, follow the steps below:
1. Launch the Phone app on your iPhone. Make sure you are on the “Recent” tab (bottom of the phone screen).
2. Find the contact number or name you want to unblock. Look to the right where you will see a blue “i” icon. Touch this icon to view additional settings.
3. Scroll down this screen and you will see the option to unblock the selected contact. Click “Unblock This Caller”. You don’t need to confirm your decision.
In some cases, you can also unblock a phone number on your iPhone using the Contacts application (or in the Phone application by selecting the “Contacts” tab). In this case, select the contact’s name and select “Unblock this caller”.
2. Use the configuration application
Since you can block someone from calling or texting via the Settings app, you can use the same method to unblock that contact. Please follow the steps below:
1. Launch the Settings app on your iPhone. Scroll down a little bit until you see the green phone icon. Select it to view additional settings.
2. Touch “Blocked Contacts”. If you’ve used this option to block someone, these contacts should now appear on your screen.
3. Right now you have two different ways to proceed. If you want to unblock a single contact, swipe (right) on the contact’s name, then select the “Unblock” button on the right.
4. If you want to unblock multiple contacts, select the “Edit” button (visible in the upper right corner). Click the red circle to the left of each contact’s name to unblock it. It is!
Keep in mind that using the Settings app to unblock someone doesn’t have to be for just callers. If you choose this method, know that your iPhone will remove the selected contact from various “block lists”, allowing that person to call you, send you a text or email again.
