iMessages not coming through Mac from a number that was accidentally blocked on iPhone but is no longer blocked. iMessages from that number are now coming through iPhone and iPad but not on Mac. So, how can I fix this? TIA

Hi there NanNora,


If you are not receiving messages from one contact on your Mac only, first ensure this contact is not showing in the blocked list on your Mac. These steps from Block messages in Messages on Mac show how to check this:

Manage blocked callers
1. In the Messages app  on your Mac, choose Messages > Settings, click iMessage, then click Blocked.
2. Do one of the following:
* Block a contact: Click the Add button , then select a name in the list of contacts.
* Remove a blocked contact: Select a name or number in the list of blocked callers, then click the Remove button .

See the Apple Support article Block phone numbers, contacts, and emails on your iPhone or iPad.


If this contact is not showing as blocked on the Mac, then follow the recommendations outlined here next since they can resolve what's happening: If you can’t send or receive messages on your Mac


We hope that helps!
