I blocked somebody on my phone then deleted the contact, I want to unblock the contact but now I can't. What do I do so I can unblock the person?

Because you deleted the contact there is no way to unblock it. You would need to manually add the contact back and if it is still blocked then unblock it. Are you still seeing it as blocked even though the contact doesn’t exist on your device? Or did you block it via an app or non-Apple provided service

It is not there at all. I will follow your suggestion. Thanks.
