Unfortunately, it is not possible to view messages sent from a blocked number on an iPhone. The iOS operating system does not allow users to access messages sent by a blocked contact. If this person is sending you unwanted or harassing messages, we recommend blocking the sender in order to prevent continued communication and protect your privacy.  To block a contact: open the Messages app, go into the conversation thread with the contact and tap their name at the top of the screen; then select \u2018Info\u2019 from this menu; scroll down until you see \u2018Block This Caller\u2019 and select it. This will block all future communications from that individual including calls, FaceTime calls and iMessages.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_can_I_see_messages_from_a_blocked_number\"><\/span>How can I see messages from a blocked number?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_you_receive_text_messages_from_a_blocked_number_on_iPhone\"><\/span>Can you receive text messages from a blocked number on iPhone?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Yes, it is possible to receive text messages from a blocked number on an iPhone. To do so, you must first unblock the number in your phone&#8217;s settings. To unblock a contact or number on an iPhone, go to Settings &gt; Messages &gt; Blocked Contacts and select Edit. Find the contact that you want to unblock and tap Unblock next to their name. Once this has been done, you should be able to receive messages from that person&#8217;s number again.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_you_see_if_a_blocked_number_has_tried_to_text_you\"><\/span>Can you see if a blocked number has tried to text you?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Yes, it is possible to determine if a blocked number has tried to text you. Depending on your device and service provider, there are several ways you can go about this. <\/p>\n<p>First, check with your carrier or mobile phone manufacturer for any specific options they may offer related to identifying blocked numbers. Many carriers have online resources that provide helpful tips and instructions on how to access call logs for blocked numbers. <\/p>\n<p>Secondly, consider using a third-party app such as Truecaller and TrapCall which allow users to see who is calling them from a blocked number by providing detailed caller IDs and other features. These apps track incoming calls including those from unknown and private\/blocked numbers, allowing you to easily identify when someone from the block list attempts contact via text message or phone call.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_you_see_messages_after_unblocking_someone\"><\/span>Can you see messages after unblocking someone?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Yes, you can see messages after unblocking someone. If you have blocked a contact on your messaging application, their messages will no longer be visible to you until you unblock them. Once they are unblocked, any new messages sent by the contact will appear as normal in your message inbox. However, any messages sent while they were blocked may not be visible unless the messaging platform has saved them in its system.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_blocked_messages_get_delivered\"><\/span>Do blocked messages get delivered?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>No, blocked messages will not be delivered. When someone blocks you, any messages sent to them will not show up in their inbox and they won&#8217;t receive a notification about it. If you&#8217;re trying to send a message to someone who has blocked you, the best course of action is to reach out through another form of communication such as email or social media.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_I_retrieve_deleted_messages_on_my_iPhone\"><\/span>How do I retrieve deleted messages on my iPhone?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you have accidentally deleted important messages from your iPhone, there are a few methods that may help you to recover them.
