Blocking a phone number is a common way for people to protect their privacy and remain undisturbed from unwanted calls. However, there are times we might need to see our blocked call history. Perhaps we accidentally blocked someone we needed to speak with, or we need to know if we have received any calls from a particular number. In this blog post, we will discuss how to see your blocked call history.
How to view your blocked call history on iPhone
If you own an iPhone and block a caller, they will be added to the “Blocked Contacts” list in your phone settings. This means that any calls or messages from the blocked number will not show up in the phone’s call history or messages.
To view your blocked call history on an iPhone, follow the steps below:
1. Open the phone settings on your iPhone and click on “Phone” or “Messages”, depending on the type of interaction you had with the blocked number.
2. Scroll down to the “Blocked Contacts” option and click on it.
3. A list of all the blocked numbers will appear on the screen.
4. Find the number you want to unblock and swipe left.
5. Click on “Unblock” and the number will be unblocked.
Once you have unblocked the number, any calls or messages from that number will be added to your regular call history or messages.
How to view your blocked call history on Android
Blocking a number on an Android device may vary depending on the manufacturer and model of the phone. In most cases, when you block a number, the call and message history is removed from your call log or messaging app.
To view your blocked call history on an Android phone, follow the steps below:
1. Go to your phone settings and click on “Call” or “Messaging”, depending on the type of interaction you had with the blocked number.
2. Click on “Blocked Calls” or “Blocked Contacts”.
3. A list of all the blocked numbers will appear on the screen.
4. Find the number you want to unblock and click on it.
5. Click on “Unblock” to unblock the number.
Once again, after you have unblocked the number, any calls or messages from that number will show up in your regular call history or messaging app.
Conclusion
In summary, it is not possible to view the blocked call history on your phone without unblocking the number. The steps to unblock a number may vary depending on your phone’s manufacturer and model. However, the general procedure is to go to your phone settings, click on “Blocked Calls” or “Blocked Contacts”, find the number you want to unblock, and click on “Unblock”. After the number has been unblocked, you should be able to view any calls or messages received from that number in your regular call log or messaging app.
FAQ
Can you see if a blocked number has tried to text you?
Are you curious if you can tell if a blocked number has tried to text you? The answer to this question varies depending on the phone you are using, but there is some good news for Android users.
Android phones move all blocked messages into a folder on the phone called “Spam and Blocked.” This means that the phone is still collecting messages from the blocked people; they just aren’t notifying you. This can be a lifesaver in needing those blocked messages for various reasons after the fact. The “Spam and Blocked” folder can typically be found within the messaging app on your Android device, but you may need to adjust your settings to be able to view it.
However, even though these messages are being sent to this folder, you still won’t receive any sort of notification that the blocked number has texted you. In fact, the person who sent the message won’t even know they have been blocked.
So while it’s not necessarily easy to view if a blocked number has tried to text you, it is possible if you know where to look on your Android phone. If you’re an iPhone user, the answer may be a bit more frustrating, as there is no easy way to view blocked messages. The messages simply disappear into oblivion, and there’s no way to retrieve them.
If you’ve blocked someone’s number for a reason, you probably don’t want to go looking for their messages. However, if you do need to see past messages or are curious about what someone has been saying, the “Spam and Blocked” folder can be a helpful tool on Android devices.
Can you see missed calls from blocked numbers on iPhone?
When someone blocks a phone number on their iPhone, calls and messages from that number are prevented from reaching the user’s device. This means that any calls made from a blocked number will not appear on the user’s device, and the caller will not receive a notification that their call was blocked.
To answer the question “Can you see missed calls from blocked numbers on iPhone?” the answer is yes, but with a caveat. If you have blocked a number on your iPhone and that number tries to call you, their call will be blocked. In other words, you will not see a notification for that missed call on your iPhone if the caller’s number is blocked.
However, if you decide to unblock the number that called you, you can see the missed calls made during the time when the number was blocked. To do this, go to your “Recent” calls list and find the calls from the number that you have blocked. You will see any missed calls, along with the date and time that the call was made.
It’s important to note that unblocking a number will allow that caller to reach you again, so it’s important to consider whether you want to unblock the number before doing so. Additionally, if you have blocked a caller and later decide to unblock them, any messages or voicemails left by the caller during the time when their number was blocked will not be restored. They will remain inaccessible unless the caller chooses to leave another message or call you again.
If you have blocked a number on your iPhone, you will not see missed calls from that number on your device. However, if you later decide to unblock the number, you can view any missed calls from the time that the number was blocked, as long as those calls are still available in your phone’s call history.
What happens when you call someone who blocked you on iPhone?
When you try to call someone who has blocked your iPhone number, you will typically hear one ring, or no rings at all before being directed to voicemail. This happens because the person who blocked your number has effectively prevented your call from being received on their end. When you call a blocked number, your call will not be routed through to the recipient’s device. Instead, it will be sent to a server operated by your phone company, where it will be put on hold or routed to voicemail. From there, you will either hear a message telling you that the call could not be completed, or you will be diverted straight to voicemail.
In some cases, you may not be able to leave a voicemail message if the person you are trying to call has not set up their voicemail. In these cases, you may hear a message informing you that the recipient’s mailbox is full or that their account is not set up to receive messages. It is also possible that the person you are trying to call has temporarily disabled their voicemail or is experiencing network issues that prevent them from receiving calls.
If someone has blocked you on their iPhone, you will not be able to reach them over FaceTime, iMessage, or any other Apple-related service. You will also not be able to see their statuses or updates on social media if you are both connected on a social networking platform. In some cases, people choose to block others to protect themselves from unwanted calls, harassment, or other forms of intrusive behavior. If you have been blocked by someone you know, it may be best to reach out to them via another means of communication or to respect their wishes and let them contact you if and when they are ready.
