The process of removing a previously blocked contact from the iPhone’s blocked list, specifically within the iOS 18 operating system, allows the user to once again receive calls, messages, and FaceTime communications from that number. When a phone number is added to the blocked list, all communication attempts from that number are silently rejected by the device. Reversing this action restores normal communication functionality.
Regaining contact with individuals, resolving conflicts, and updating contact management preferences are key reasons for unblocking numbers. The ability to manage blocked contacts provides users with enhanced control over their communication channels. Historically, the feature to block and unblock numbers has evolved to address concerns related to unwanted communication and privacy.
