Can I Still See Messages from a Blocked Number?

Published in Mobile Phone Features 1 min read

No, you usually cannot see messages from a blocked number. When you block a number, your phone's operating system prevents messages from that number from reaching your inbox.

Here's why:

  • Blocking a number prevents communication: Blocking a number is designed to stop contact from that sender.
  • Messages are filtered out: Your phone's messaging app filters out messages from blocked numbers, preventing them from appearing in your inbox.
  • No notification: You won't receive any notification about a blocked number attempting to contact you.

However, there are some exceptions:

  • Some messaging apps may allow access: Certain third-party messaging apps might have different settings or features that allow you to view messages from blocked numbers.
  • Spam messages: Spam messages may still appear in your inbox despite being blocked, as they often originate from different numbers each time.

To ensure complete blocking, check the settings of your specific messaging app and phone operating system.
