Can you still see messages after you block someone?

No, you will not be able to see any messages sent by the person you blocked after the block has been activated. You will no longer be able to see their messages and they will not be able to see any messages you send to them.

Furthermore, the blocked person will not be able to see any of your online activity or participate in any online conversations with you. This includes messages sent before and after the block has been activated.

Can a blocked person see messages after unblocking?

Yes, a blocked person can see messages after unblocking. When someone blocks you, they essentially remove you as a contact and prevent all communication with you. When unblocking someone, the former contact is restored and any messages sent to you while they were blocked will become visible.

Depending on the messenger you are using, you may have to manually search for the missed messages, or they may appear in the chat history when the person is unblocked. Keep in mind that if someone blocked you, they may still have their filters set to prevent receiving any messages sent while they were blocked, so you may have to reach out to the person directly and let them know you unblocked them and that they may want to check their messages.

Can you see if a blocked number has tried to contact you?

It is possible to determine whether a blocked number has tried to contact you by looking into your call history. Depending on the type of device you have, you may be able to access the call logs or a list of recent calls received.

If you see a number that appears as blocked or unavailable, this may mean a blocked number has tried to contact you. Additionally, if you notice a longer than usual gap in between two consecutive calls but no number is displayed, this may also indicate that a blocked number has tried to call you.

If you are unsure of whether a blocked number has attempted to contact you, you may want to contact your service provider for assistance.

Can you retrieve blocked messages on iPhone?

Yes, it is possible to retrieve blocked messages on an iPhone. This can be done through the Contacts app. Open the Contacts app, tap the “+” sign in the top right corner, and then tap the “Blocked” option.

This will bring up a list of all of the contacts that are currently blocked. Select the contact whose messages you would like to retrieve, and then tap the “Unblock” option. This will allow you to receive messages from that contact again.

It is also possible to retrieve deleted messages from within the Messages app. Open the Messages app, then tap the three dots icon at the top of the screen. Select “Recover Deleted Messages” and any deleted messages should be available for recovery.

Can I get back deleted texts?

In some cases, it is possible to recover deleted text messages, though the exact steps to do so will depend on what kind of device you have and the specifics of how the text messages were deleted. In general, it is often possible to recover deleted messages from both cell phones and tablets, though the process may take some time and may require the help of technology experts.

For iPhones, deleted messages are usually not stored on the phone itself but on your iCloud account. If the messages were deleted recently, you may be able to recover them by restoring your iCloud backup.

Additionally, some types of data recovery software may be able to help you recover deleted text messages from iPhones.

For Android phones, the process may be more straightforward: often, all that is needed is to connect the device to a computer and use data recovery software to look for deleted files, including text messages.

Again, data recovery software is often the best way to get back deleted text messages on Android devices.

In any case, it is often possible to recover deleted text messages, though the process may be time-consuming and may require the help of technology experts.

Can someone receive my text messages if they block me?

It depends on the type of blocking used. If someone blocks you on their device, they will not receive any notifications or messages from you. However, they may still be able to access your texts if they have an alternative messaging app installed.

Additionally, some carriers allow users to block messages from certain numbers, in which case the blocked user will be able to see and send messages to the blocked person, but the other person won’t receive any notifications or messages from the blocked person.

Furthermore, some apps allow users to set up a Do Not Disturb (DND) mode, which will automatically block incoming texts from blocked numbers. Therefore, if someone has blocked you, they may still be able to access your text messages depending on the type of blocking they used.

How can I text someone who has blocked me?

Unfortunately, there is no guaranteed way to text someone who has blocked you. If a person has blocked you, this means that they no longer want to receive messages from you. Your best bet is to respect their wishes and stop attempting to contact them.

However, in certain circumstances, such as if you and the person you are trying to contact both have a mutual friend that is willing to help, it may be possible for them to intervene on your behalf. The mutual friend could message the person who has blocked you and attempt to explain why you need to get in touch.

If the person is willing to unblock you, they may be able to pass on your messages or give them your new contact information so you can get in touch outside of the messaging app.

How do you retrieve messages from a blocked number?

It is not possible to retrieve messages from a blocked number. Once a number is blocked, the user will no longer receive calls or text messages from the blocked number. If you have blocked a contact and are trying to retrieve messages from them, they may have sent before they were blocked, you will need to unblock the number to be able to access these messages.

In order to unblock the number, you will need to go into your phone settings, find the blocked numbers list, and remove the contact from the list. Once the number is unblocked, you may be able to access any messages that were sent from the blocked number before it was blocked.

Why am I still receiving texts from a blocked number?

Blocking a contact from your phone will usually prevent them from calling or texting you, but that is not always the case. Depending on the type of phone service you have, when you block a number, you may still receive messages for a short period of time until the carrier’s system updates the block.

This can take up to 48 hours. Additionally, if the blocked contact is using a third-party app (such as WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, etc. ) to send messages, the block may not work. In that case, you’ll need to block them on the app itself, which will stop the messages.

Some services routinely switch the sender’s number, so messages may show up coming from a different number than what you blocked. Finally, your carrier may offer its own optional blocking service that you can use to prevent calls and messages from getting through.

Checking your carrier’s website or contacting them directly for assistance can help.

What happens if I call a number I blocked?

What does a blocked caller hear when they call you?

If you have blocked a caller, when they call you they will hear a message that states that the number they are trying to reach is not accepting any calls at this time.

When you block someone do they know?

When you block someone on any social media platform or on your phone, they will likely not know that you have blocked them as it is not a visible feature. However, if they continue to try to contact you and cannot get through, it may become clear to them that you have blocked them.

This may be true for general messaging services and calling, but each platform varies in its visibility when someone is blocked. For example, with Twitter, when someone tries to view your profile after being blocked, they will be met with a blank page and not a message that says they have been blocked.

Does * 67 work if your blocked?

No, *67 does not work if you are blocked. *67 is a code that can be dialed before a phone number to hide a person’s phone number from the person they are calling. It prevents the receiver from seeing your phone number.

However, if a person is blocked, then there is no way for them to see your phone number, and thus *67 will not hide your number from them if they are blocked.

How many times does a phone ring if you are blocked?

If you are blocked by the person calling you, your phone will typically ring once or not at all. The one ring is usually short and not an elongated ringtone. This is because when they call you, the call gets sent directly to voicemail since they have been blocked.

Depending on your voicemail setup and device, you may not hear the ring even if it is sent. Additionally, if you have an iOS device, you may receive a notification that you have missed a call, but no ringtone.

It is also important to note that the person you have blocked will not be notified that they are blocked. Even if you unblock them later on, any messages sent prior to the block will not be restored.

If you would like to see any messages this person sent you prior to the block, you will need to take screenshots of the messages before blocking them.

Can I see blocked messages when I unblock?

Do messages come through after unblocking WhatsApp?
