Yes, after unblocking a number, you will start receiving new messages from that number; however, messages sent during the period they were blocked will not be retroactively received. It's important to communicate directly to catch up on any missed information, as the blocking feature effectively stops all communication during the block period but does not affect messages sent after the block is lifted.

FAQs & Answers

  1. Will I receive messages sent while a number was blocked after I unblock them? No, messages sent during the time a number is blocked are not delivered after unblocking; only new messages sent after unblocking will be received.
  2. Does unblocking a number restore past missed messages? Unblocking a number does not restore messages sent during the block period; these messages remain undelivered.
  3. How does blocking affect calls and messages on my phone? Blocking a number prevents all calls and messages from that contact from reaching you during the block period, but normal communication resumes once unblocked.
