I need to unblock a number that is in my contacts. Instructions I've seen here say I should be able to do that from within the Contacts app but there isn't an unblock option when I bring up the contact in question. Finding their number in my list of blocked numbers is not possible given the length of that list.
Any other suggestions?

Hello... If you know the person you want to unblock, then iMessage them from your iPhone, now click on their icon "Name" at the top of the screen, this will bring up a screen about the contact person's information. You will see "CALL - VIDEO - MAIL - INFO" tabs. At this point click on "INFO". Now scroll down to the bottom and you will see "UNBLOCK CALLER".
I hope this helps you...

Go to Settings>Apps>Phone>Blocked Contacts and delete whatever numbers you want unblocked.
I have the same question… It was easy with my iPhone 12. I would go to settings and then select phone.
Now there is no phone

What does that mean? Does it mean you can't find it in the blocked list in Settings>Phone>Blocked Contacts?
It’s not simple if you have thousands of blocked contacts. The problem statement is simple. When I go to my contacts list I do not have the option to block or unblock the caller when I select edit. How can I see this option when I bring up my contacts list?
My husband and I cannot receive the six digit number from different vendors when they went when they were trying to get make sure we are the right person with the right phone. This has been going on for 6 to 9 months and it is driving us crazy we cannot receive any numbers. We both have separate numbers, but we cannot receive any numbers to make sure they know it’s us. What do we do? What do we do? It’s so hard I’m 78 and I don’t know what to do. Please help.
My experience is that a key point is to go to "Contacts" directly, select the person you want, and then you'll see the Unblock option, NOT to the little circled "i" in the top right corner of the address card info that is in the list of blocked callers. This means you first have to create an address card for the person/phone number, save it, and then go back to the Contacts tab and to the person there to see the option to Unblock.
