Why Am I Still Getting Messages From a Blocked Number
Dear Reader,
If you’re getting text messages from a blocked number, there are a few possible explanations. First, you may have a bug on your Android phone. If you’ve tried updating it, but the number isn’t blocked for messages/SMS, then it may be because you’ve got the Messages settings wrong. A third-party blocking app might be installed on your phone, which is blocking the number. If you know the number isn’t blocked by your phone, but you’re still getting messages, it might be because a third-party blocking app is installed, but you don’t know which one. To find out, you can try using a different app or uninstall the blocking app altogether.
