Part 1. What Happens to Blocked Text Messages on Android

When you block someone, you will never receive their messages and calls until you unblock them. Text messages are sent to the Block SMS folder, while calls are directed to the voicemail box. Unless you open the Blocked SMS folder, you will never know that you are receiving messages from those numbers which you have blocked.

On the other hand, the blocked numbers can still receive your calls and messages without any issues. The notification alerts from messages from the numbers you have blocked will not be active as unblocked messages. Block is not permanent; you can unblock any number whenever you want. And you will receive the calls and messages from them again, but the previous blocked messages will not be restored automatically.

Open the Message app.

Tap the three dots on your device's top right corner.
