This article will show you how to easily unblock unknown numbers on your iPhone so you can stay connected with all your contacts. Unlocking unknown numbers will give you more control over who can reach you on your iPhone.
When an unknown or blocked number calls or texts your iPhone, you may not be able to respond or access the conversation. Fortunately, there are several ways to unblock unknown numbers on an iPhone.
Check Your Blocked Contacts List
If you have blocked the unknown number by mistake, you can unblock it by going to your Settings app and tapping Phone. Then, select Blocked Contacts and select the number you want to unblock. At the bottom of the screen, tap Unblock.
Add the Contact to Your Phone
If you know the name of the contact, you can add them to your phone. Just go to Contacts and tap the + icon at the top right corner. Then, enter the contact's name, phone number and any other information you want to add. Once you save the contact, it will no longer be unknown.
Use a Third-Party App
If you don't know the contact's name or if the contact has a restricted number, you can use a third-party app to find out who is calling. There are several apps available for iPhone, such as TrapCall, Truecaller and Hiya. These apps work by cross-referencing incoming calls with public databases and social media sites, so you can identify the caller. Once you know the contact's name, you can add them to your Contacts and unblock their number.
Set Up Do Not Disturb
If you don't want to unblock the number but you don't want to be disturbed by it, you can set up Do Not Disturb. This feature will silence all incoming calls and notifications from the blocked number, so you won't be disturbed while you're using your iPhone. To enable Do Not Disturb, go to Settings, tap Do Not Disturb and select the contacts you want to block.
Block the Number Again
If all else fails and you still don't want to be disturbed by the unknown number, you can always block it again. Go to Settings, tap Phone and select Blocked Contacts. Tap the + icon at the top right corner and select the number you want to block. You can also block a contact from their contact card. Just tap the contact's name and tap Block this Caller at the bottom of the screen.
These are some of the ways you can unblock unknown numbers on an iPhone. Whether it's an accidental block, a restricted number or a persistent caller, you can take steps to identify and manage the contact. By following the steps outlined here, you can ensure that your iPhone remains free of unwanted calls and messages.
