There’s no way to see blocked messages on iPhone because once a number is blocked, messages sent or received afterward won’t be delivered. Since the messages aren’t delivered, unblocking the number won’t help, and unlike on Android, there’s no blocked folder on iPhone.

While there’s no way to check the blocked messages, if you’ve deleted the texts before blocking the contact, there’s a way to retrieve them.

1. Open the Settings app.
2. Tap on the Apple ID > iCloud.
3. Find and toggle off the Messages.
4. Toggle off the Sync this iPhone.
5. Tap on the Disable and Download Messages.

- Swipe the phone number to the left and tap on the Unblock
This will unblock the number for FaceTime, Voice, and Messages.
