I recently unblocked a number on my phone, they can receive my texts but I’m still unable to receive their texts, I’ve double checked in my blocked contacts and the number isn’t listed what can I do to resolve this?

When you block a number, you can continue send messages but can't receive. I am not sure where you checked.


For unblocking

Messages --> Settings > Message > Blocked > [Look for the number, swipe left] Unblock

Phone --> Settings > Phone > Call Blocking & Identification > [Look for the number, swipe left] Unblock
