How to See Blocked Numbers on Android (and Unblock Them if Desired)
Blocking an unknown number that’s bothering you is pretty easy, but people often overdo it. If you regret blocking someone or did so by accident, unblocking them is just as easy. Your Android phone maintains a list of all blocked contacts; you can access it to unblock numbers.
How to View and Unblock Blocked Contacts on Android
Managing blocked numbers on Android is pretty straightforward, but since the user interface is slightly different onPixel and Samsung phones, the steps you need to follow may vary slightly. We’ll cover the instructions for both below.

If you’re having trouble finding a certain number, you can tap thesearchicon at the top and type the number you’re looking for.
Similar to Google’s Pixel phones, Samsung allows you to auto-block callers by enabling theBlock calls from unknown numberstoggle.
If you ever want to unblock all numbers at once, perhaps because you’re in an emergency and can’t afford to miss incoming calls, you can tap thethree-doticon at the top and hitUnblock all numbers.
Your Android phone makes it easy to block and unblock any number you wish, all within the Phone app. This is handy if you get bombarded with spam texts and calls or need some peace and quiet from specific numbers.
