Unblocking incoming calls on your iPhone is crucial for ensuring you don't miss important communications. Whether you've accidentally blocked a number or need to manage call restrictions, this guide will walk you through the steps to unblock incoming phone calls on iPhone effectively.
The iPhone offers robust features to manage incoming calls, including the ability to block specific numbers or all unknown callers. These settings are essential for privacy and spam prevention but can sometimes lead to unintentional blocks. To manage and unblock calls, the following methods are ready for you.
Here is the simplest method to view all blocked phone numbers, whether or not they are in your contact list.
Step 1: Open the "Settings" app on your iPhone. Scroll down and tap on "Phone".
Step 2: Select "Blocked Contacts". Here, you’ll see a list of all numbers and contacts you’ve blocked.
Step 3: Then swipe left on the specific contact and tap "Unblock".
Optional Steps: In "Blocked Contacts" page, you can also tap on "Edit", and then tap the red minus button beside the phone number to access phone unblock option.
This method is effective for managing blocked contacts directly from your iPhone's Contacts or Phone app.
Step 1: Open the "Phone" app on your iPhone, and tap on "Contact".
Step 2: Find the contact you want to unblock.
Step 3: Tap to open the contact's details.
Step 4: Scroll down and tap "Unblock Caller".
Step 1: Open the "Phone" app on your iPhone.
Step 2: Tap on the "Recents" tab and locate the blocked incoming call.
Step 3: Tap the "i" icon next to the call.
Step 4: Tap "Unblock Caller".
Step 1: Open the "Messages" app on your iPhone. Find the message from the blocked contact.
Step 2: Tap the contact's phone number, and then tap "Info".
Step 3: Scroll down and tap "Unblock Caller".
If the call still blocked, verify if there are multiple entries for the same contact in your block list. Remove all instances to ensure the contact can reach you.
You can also Enable Do Not Disturb Mode to temporarily silence calls without blocking them permanently.
