Blocking and Unblocking


If you block someone's number and then unblock it and they messaged you while blocked, will you then receive the messages when you unblock the number? Or would you just never receive those messages??


Also, If the answer is no, does apple plan to change this in the future?

If you block a number you will be unable to receive calls and messages from that number. Once you’ve unblocked them, their calls and messages will come through on your devices. This only applies to newer messages and has practically stayed the same since Apple introduced the option to block contacts.
