    The signs: you can’t find them in search, can’t tag them, and your chats look blank. But don’t panic—sometimes it’s just deactivation. Always confirm by checking through another account before assuming it’s a block.

    It’s not an error—just Apple’s emergency fallback. Normal calls and data are blocked, but emergency services remain reachable. Usually clears when you get back into your carrier’s coverage area.

    The trick was sliding your finger halfway on a chat to peek. But Snapchat removed it in updates. Some people still try, but it’s inconsistent and risky. If you care about not leaving “opened,” better use notifications or just wait to respond.

    Public profiles let people subscribe to your content, so Snapchat sets some conditions. If you’re eligible, it’s under your profile settings. Tap Create Public Profile, confirm, and customize. If it’s missing, your account may not qualify yet due to restrictions.

    Sticker packs are linked to apps. Delete the app to remove its stickers, or use iMessage’s App Drawer → Edit to hide them. Apple’s built-in packs can only be hidden, not fully removed.

    Hi, I ran into this exact situation last year when I was trying to remember if I had blocked my cousin by accident. It’s actually pretty simple once you know where Apple tucked the option. On your iPhone, go to Settings → Phone → Blocked Contacts. That’s the master list. You’ll see every number you’ve blocked through calls, texts, or FaceTime. If you want to edit, just swipe left on a number to unblock it.

    What confused me at first was that Messages and FaceTime also have their own “Blocked Contacts” list inside their settings. But don’t worry—it’s all the same list. So no matter which route you take, you’ll end up seeing the same names/numbers. It’s not split up.

    If you’re running iOS 16 or 17, the steps are identical. Older versions had “Call Blocking & Identification,” but Apple renamed it to “Blocked Contacts.” I actually went through mine and realized I’d blocked an old coworker by mistake during a spam-blocking spree. Reviewing the list can be helpful because you never know who slipped in there. Hope that helps.
