why won't message blocking turn off
So it won't let me text androids anymore for some reason and I've tried restarting my phone taking out my sim card and I went to settings and turned Immesages off and on and it still won't work.
iPhone 13, iOS 16

Hi Bella_bellz, You might be using your iCloud email for iMessage rather than a phone number. You can make sure your phone number is being used by going to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. From there make sure your phone number is enabled. You could also go to Settings, then click your name at the top. From there it's Name, Phone numbers, Email. On this screen, also ensure your phone number is properly enabled.
Here's some information you might find helpful:

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Cheers!
