Change after update - blocked numbers (NOT my contacts)

I had forgotten if I blocked someone, so when I went to check I discovered everything changed since I updated the software a few days ago. I have 26.2.1. Before the update, I recall my phone showing a list of random #'s that I blocked since I bought my phone. If I blocked a contact, the name would appear in the same list with the random numbers. Why is it different now after the update? The list is gone now. It only shows people from my contacts who I blocked. I want to see the random numbers I blocked. Where do I go to find this list?

Thank you.

I completely overlooked that! Not that it matters, but to explain, I was looking for a job and some company texted a bunch of candidates on a group text and all the numbers were visible, so I blocked the group. When I saw "Unknown" after checking myself the first time, and again today after navigating the directions you sent, I thought it was the job group I blocked but then it dawned on me what it really was.

My phone actually shows "805 Unknown." Odd. Thank you!!!
