Do iPhones have a blocked message folder? ›
For iPhones, there is no way to retrieve blocked messages, so your phone will not get weighed down by all of the messages inside the phone but blocked. However, that also means that the iPhone doesn't collect blocked messages that you can access later.
Can a blocked number still text you? ›

What does a blocked iPhone message look like? ›
A red flag that you've been blocked is when you don't see the delivery status or the read receipt at all. The message you just sent will still be in a blue bubble, but it will have no delivery status below it – not even a "Not Delivered."
Fortunately, both the local law enforcement and your phone provider should be able to help you find the number behind the blocked calls you have been receiving.
