Yes, it is possible to retrieve blocked messages on WhatsApp. However, it requires a bit of effort and is not a straightforward process. To retrieve blocked messages, you need to delete and reinstall the WhatsApp application.
Restoring your phone to its factory settings should also help. After reinstalling WhatsApp, you need to ensure that you are connected to the same Wi-Fi network as the person who has blocked you. With Wi-Fi enabled and the WhatsApp app installed on your phone, the messages should begin coming in gradually.
It is possible that you may not receive all the messages, as only those at the receiving end will be able to access them. If you believe that the person blocking you has blocked your number, then contact the WhatsApp support for further assistance in retrieving the blocked messages.
Where do messages go when you block someone on WhatsApp?
When you block someone on WhatsApp, all of their messages will no longer be visible in your chat window, and you will no longer receive any messages or calls from that contact. The messages that the blocked user tries to send will not appear anywhere on your phone, and they will not be delivered to you.
The person you have blocked will not be notified that you have blocked them. The only way they will be able to tell is if they try to send a message and it doesn’t get delivered. All of the messages from the blocked user, however, are still stored on the WhatsApp servers and are still visible to the blocked user.
What happens when you block someone on WhatsApp and they message you?
When you block someone on WhatsApp, they will no longer be able to send you messages, calls, or status updates. If they try to message you, they will receive an error message stating that the message could not be delivered.
Additionally, your contact status will be invisible to them, meaning they will not be able to see when you come online, what your last seen time is, or if you are typing. You will still be able to see your messages that you sent before you blocked them, but you will not receive any new messages from them.
Do blocked messages get delivered when unblocked?
Yes, blocked messages typically get delivered when a user unblocks another user. When a user blocks someone, all messages that the blocked user sent during the time they were blocked will be delivered once they are unblocked.
However, often the receiving user has to open up their messaging app and refresh their conversation list before the previously blocked messages appear. It is also possible for the messages to not arrive or be stored due to a technical issue or compatibility problem.
Can you see if a blocked number has tried to contact you?
Yes, it is possible to see if a blocked number has tried to contact you, depending on the type of phone you have. On an iPhone, go to Settings > Phone > Call Blocking & Identification, and look at your Block Contact list.
If the blocked number is listed, it means that the number has tried to contact you. For an Android phone, open Phone > Call Log to view the blocked contact’s attempts to call you. Unfortunately, not all phones have this feature and you may have to contact your carrier for more information.
Why do I still get messages from someone I blocked?
It is possible that you are still receiving messages from someone you blocked because your device is receiving notifications from that person in the form of group messages, leaderboard notifications, or newsfeeds.
Even after blocking someone on an app or website, if that person is still listed as a member of a group you have joined or if their activity is visible to others in the community, notifications could still reach you.
It’s also possible that the person you blocked has multiple accounts and is sending messages from a different one, or that your device is still receiving notifications from their profile due to some kind of technical glitch.
In order to stop receiving messages from the person you have blocked, you may need to leave the groups or communities in which they are still visible or contact your app or website provider to ensure that all notifications from that person have been disabled.
Can someone receive messages from a blocked number?
No, they cannot receive messages from a blocked number. When someone blocks a number, the blocked number can no longer see the person’s online status, start a conversation with them or send them any messages.
Even if messages are sent, the blocked number will not receive any notifications or be able to view the messages. Additionally, calls from a blocked number will go directly to voicemail. If the blocked number accesses voicemail, they will be able to listen to any saved messages, but they will not be notified that a message has been left.
Why am I still receiving texts from a blocked number?
When you block a phone number, it stops the person from being able to call or text you on that number. However, depending on the service provider, you may still receive some text messages. This is because many providers have routing networks and shared short codes, which can allow a blocked number to bypass the block you’ve placed.
This is because it may appear that the message is coming from a different, unblocked number. Additionally, it is possible for the blocked number to create a new account with a different number, enabling them to text you from that new number.
If you are still receiving texts from a blocked number, the best solution is to contact your service provider to see if they can help further block the number.
How do you get messages after unblocking someone?
After you unblock someone, they will be able to send you messages again. Depending on what messaging platform you are using, this could look different. For example, on messaging apps like WhatsApp, when you unblock someone, any messages they had sent you while they were blocked will not be delivered to you, and you’ll have to manually request them from the other user.
However, any messages sent after the unblock will be received normally. On social media platforms like Facebook, unblocking someone will not only restore their ability to message you but also any messages they had sent prior to being blocked.
When you unblock a number do you receive old texts?
No, when you unblock a number you do not automatically receive any old texts. Texts sent to a blocked number will not be delivered to your phone, and therefore will not appear when the number is unblocked.
You may have to manually contact the person who sent you the texts in order to retrieve them. It is also important to note that some networks may store the blocked messages and they may be able to retrieve them if they are requested.
