How to see a blocked number and unblock them on Android

If you’ve blocked a phone number on your Android device and want to unblock it, you can follow these general steps. Keep in mind that the exact steps may vary slightly depending on your Android version and phone manufacturer, but this guide should cover the basic procedure:

1. Open Phone App:

• Open the default Phone app on your Android device. This app may be named “Phone,” “Dialer,” or something similar, depending on your device.

2. Access Call Settings:

• Tap the three-dot menu icon (usually in the top-right corner of the screen) to open the menu.
• Select “Settings” or “Call settings” from the menu.

3. Find Blocked Numbers:

• Look for an option related to blocked numbers or blocked calls. The name of this option may vary, but it typically includes the word “Blocked.”

4. View Blocked Numbers:

• In the blocked numbers or blocked calls section, you should see a list of phone numbers or contacts that you’ve previously blocked.

5. Unblock the Number:

• Locate the number you want to unblock in the list.
• Tap on the blocked number to select it.
• Look for an option that allows you to unblock the selected number, which may be labeled “Unblock” or “Remove from block list.”

6. Confirm Unblocking:

• A confirmation message may appear asking if you want to unblock the number. Confirm that you want to unblock it.

7. Verify Unblocking:

• After confirming, the blocked number should be removed from your block list, and you should now be able to receive calls and messages from that number.

The specific names and locations of settings may vary slightly depending on your Android device’s version and manufacturer. If you can’t find the option to unblock a number using these steps, you may need to consult your device’s user manual or contact your device’s manufacturer for specific guidance.

Also, please be cautious when unblocking numbers, as unblocking a number means that you’ll receive calls and messages from that number again. Make sure you genuinely want to unblock a number before doing so.
