Blocked text messages disappear When someone that you've
Android phones move all blocked messages into a folder on the phone called “Spam and Blocked.” That means that the phone is still collecting messages from the blocked people; they just aren't notifying you. This can be a lifesaver in needing those blocked messages for various reasons after the fact.
Once blocked, the phone number remains blocked on the iPhone even after you delete it from your Phone, FaceTime, Messages or Contacts apps. You can confirm its sustained blocked status in Settings.
Blocking someone does not delete anything it simply stops them from contacting you. Any conversation you have had with them will remain on your device until you delete it.
When two iMessage users text one another, the message status bar says “Delivered” when the message arrives and the conversation bubbles are blue. So, when someone you've blocked texts you, they will not see any delivery status for their text and their message bubble will turn green.
Generally speaking, it is not possible to restore blocked texts on iPhone 7 or other iPhone models, because there is no blocked folder on iPhone to save messages and texts that are stopped from receiving. It means that no blocked messages are saved on your iPhone.
Deleting a contact / conversation doesn't impact the other party's chat history. The conversations will be preserved on the other side whether you keep or delete. Blocking a contact means that person will not be able to chat with you anymore unless you unblock.
Will I receive old texts sent while they were blocked? Blocked messages will not come through when unblocked. While someone is blocked, any sent text messages will be blocked by Messages. You won't be able to retrieve them.
The only way to see a call history from a blocked number is to unblock the number. They will be added to your regular call list, and you will be able to see any missed calls you receive from the number. However, they will be able to contact you again. Consider if it's worth your privacy.
The blocked numbers will stay blocked as long as you do not want to unblock them. There is no such time limit such as the blocked numbers will get unblocked after a certain time. We have already stated how you can unblock blocked contacts and numbers any time you want just like you can block any number any time.
The next major impact of blocking a number is on SMS messages. When you block a number on Android or iPhone, that number cannot send you a regular text message (SMS or MMS). Even though the message will be sent from the sender's side but you won't receive the message. Messages, like calls, have a one-way impact.
When a contact is blocked, they will not see if you are online or when you were last seen, rather where that information normally appears will remain blank. You will also not see the blocked contact's 'Online' or 'last seen' status.
No, blocking does not delete messages.
You won't be able to view those saved messages after blocking them, since they'll be removed from your chat and friends list. Blocking will prevent the blocked user from seeing your Story and sending you new Snaps and Chats.
Messages, calls, and status updates sent by the contact won't show up on your phone and won't be delivered to you. Blocking a contact won't remove them from your contacts list, nor will it remove you from the list on the contact's phone.
You can choose to automatically delete your iMessages from your device after 30 days or a year, or to keep them on your device forever. For your convenience, iMessages are backed up in iCloud and encrypted if you have enabled either iCloud Backup or Messages in iCloud.
Your old messages remain blue, but the latest texts you send after they've blocked you turn green. However, the bubble colors aren't accurate clues. They could mean the recipient turned off their phone, gone offline, or switched from iOS to Android.
Blocking Someone on Android Messages and Apple iMessage
When you block a contact over Android or iPhone, they will still be able to send you text messages. These messages will not show up on your phone but the sender will see the messages as sent. They won't know that they've been blocked.
If your iPhone messages are green, it means they're being sent as SMS texts rather than iMessages. You'll always see green when texting Android users, or when you're not connected to the internet.
If you see a green message bubble instead of a blue one, then that message was sent using MMS/SMS instead of iMessage. There are several reasons for this: The person that you sent the message to doesn't have an Apple device. iMessage is turned off on your device or on your recipient's device.
If you're still getting iMessages from a blocked contact, that means that you have only blocked their number and received messages from their Apple ID instead. If you're still receiving SMS texts, you will need to do a soft reset for your iPhone, and unblock then block the number again.
Launch Settings on your iPhone or iPad. Tap Messages. Scroll down and select the Keep Messages option under the Message History heading. Choose for how long you would like to keep the messages on your iPhone: 30 Days, 1 Year, or Forever.
