I’ve just gone through settings for messages and found one that says “filter unknown senders”
Havent had chi ce to try it yet, but I’m hopeful! 🤞🤞🤞

That setting will prevent messages to you from unknown senders, just as it says. It will not unblock messages you've sent to someone who is blocking your messages. Only the recipient can do that.
