Unblocking a Number on the iPhone — What Happens?

Find an in-depth explanation on Unblocking a Number on the iPhone — What Happens.

Today, we're constantly getting text messages from random numbers that end up cluttering our message inbox. Thankfully, there's a way to fix that problem too.

Once again, open the "Settings" app and tap where it says "Messages." Further down the screen there will be a heading that says "Message Filtering" and just below it, the option to "Filter Unknown Senders." Go ahead and tap the bubble to the right to turn the filtering on.

To make sure it works, open your messages and take a look at the top of the screen. Now, it should say "Contacts & SMS" on the top left, which pertains to everyone in your contact list, and "Unknown Senders" on the top right, which is for all unknown numbers.

These tips should help iPhone users avoid the headaches that come with receiving random text messages and phone calls. Hopefully they help you, too!
