How Do I Retrieve Blocked Messages?

For Android phones, this is how you can retrieve blocked messages.

  1. Open the Messages app, and click the three dots on the top right corner of the screen.
  2. From that drop-down menu, choose “Settings.” From there, tap on “Block numbers and messages.” From there, go to “Blocked messages.”

Can you recover blocked text messages?

Click on History. Choose Text Blocked History. Select the blocked message that you want to restore. Tap the Restore to Inbox.

Can you see messages from someone you blocked?

When someone that you've blocked texts you, their texts go nowhere. They won't receive any notification that they're blocked, and their messages will still look like they've been sent.
