- Tap "Blocked Contacts". Tap "Blocked Contacts" to view the list of numbers you’ve blocked. Once you tap "Blocked Contacts," you’ll see a list of all the numbers you’ve decided to block. It’s like a backstage pass to your phone’s screening process
- Review the List. Review the list of blocked numbers to see whom you’ve screened out. Take a good look at this list. You might find numbers you don’t recognize or ones you forgot you blocked. It’s a bit like checking your junk mail for hidden gems
- Edit the List if Necessary. If you wish to make changes, tap "Edit" in the top-right corner. Editing gives you the power to unblock numbers or add new ones.
