Fix Message Blocking Active on iPhone! iPhone not connecting to Roku TV? Not downloading pictures?
Here's how to Fix Message Blocking Active on iPhone.
If your iPhone says "message blocking is active," it means that you or someone else has enabled it to prevent all text messages from being received. This could be done on purpose or accidentally, and it could also be because you have a family plan and the account holder has enabled the feature. To deactivate message blocking, you need to locate the setting and disable it, which may be found within the Messages or Text app or under Settings. It's also possible that you have blocked the other person or vice versa, or that parental controls have been inadvertently enabled. If you are using an iPhone, you can check if the recipient has blocked your number or if you have them blocked by going to Settings - Phone - Blocked.
