How to Retrieve Blocked Messages/Calls on Android

Summary You can easily view/recover blocked calls and messages from someone on your Android phone's blacklist with free data recovery software.

How do I view missed calls and text messages on my Samsung Galaxy S6?

"I was so mad at my boyfriend yesterday that I put him on my blacklist. We've made up now, but he told me that during that time, he sent me many messages which I didn't reply to, and it almost broke his heart. I hate myself for being so irrational back then, and I'm really curious about what he texted me when we were having that fight. Do you know any way to view, read, or retrieve rejected calls and SMS on an Android device? If you do, please let me know because I have a Samsung Galaxy S6."

Android lets users block text messages and calls from specific people or contacts on their Android devices. There are usually two options for blocking unwanted callers.

1. For phones running Android 5.0 or later, open the "Messages" app, tap the "..." (More options) button, and select "Blacklist." Turn on "Block numbers," then tap the "+" to add someone you want to block or enter a phone number. Check "Block calls" or "Block messages," then tap "OK."

Second, download a third-party Android blacklisting app from the Google Play store.

While it's great to block unwanted calls and messages, there may be times when you want to review what's being intercepted – as in the above example. So do you know where and how to export blocked messages?
