Batch deleting blocked call numbers

Over the years, I’ve blocked a ton of numbers. Too many to sort through and unblock 3 or 4 blocked numbers. It would take me literally an hour to unblock them one by one. PLEASE tell me that there’s a way to batch unblock my blocked numbers

iPhone 15 Pro Max, iOS 17

iOS doesn't currently support batch unblocking of phone numbers directly through the settings. You have to unblock each number one by one, which can be quite time-consuming if you have a long list.


Here’s the fastest way you can unblock a number on iOS:


  1. Go to Settings > Phone.
  2. Tap on Blocked Contacts.
  3. Swipe left on the number you want to unblock and tap Unblock.
