Check the Blocked Status on an iPhone Contact
The steps in this article were performed in iOS 8, on an iPhone 5. iOS 7 users are also able to block contacts, but versions of iOS prior to iOS 7 do not have this option. You can read here to learn more about call blocking on the iPhone. Step 1: Open the Phone app.
Step 2: Select the Contacts option at the bottom of the screen, then locate the contact whose blocked status you want to check.
Step 3: Scroll to the bottom of the screen and look for the button that says either Block this caller or Unblock this caller. If it says Block this caller, then the contact has not been blocked. If it says Unblock this caller, then the contact has been blocked.
You can press the button if you wish to change the blocked status of the contact. Would you like to be able to find your contacts more quickly?
