Introduction
If you have ever had to block a number on your iPhone, then you know that it can be a little tricky to keep track of all the missed calls from that number. Thankfully, there are a few ways to see missed calls from blocked numbers on your iPhone.
When you block someone on your iPhone, you’re telling your phone not to communicate with that person anymore. You’ll no longer receive calls, messages, FaceTime requests, or notifications.
If you want to know how to see missed calls from blocked numbers on your iPhone, you are in the right place. We’ll provide you with instructions on how to do just that.
How To See Missed Calls From Blocked Numbers On iPhone
You won’t see blocked numbers on your call logs unless you have the Firewall application. These calls will appear in the “Recents” call log. To access and see the missed calls from blocked contacts on your iPhone, you’ll have to tap on “Recents” when you scroll down on the app.
You’ll see a list of all incoming and outgoing calls made through the app. The blocked numbers will have a little red lightning symbol on the left side.
What Is The Application Firewall?
Firewall is an application that controls connections from other computers on your network to your computer. It’s only available on iPhones currently, and you can get it from the App store.
Once you have downloaded it, you can purchase a subscription from within the application then set up your calling modes.
Because iOS 11 is the minimum supported OS for Firewall, you’ll need to update to iOS 11 or later to utilize the program if you’re using a previous version.
AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint, and US Cellular are the only carriers that currently enable Firewall.
The Firewall is designed to block unauthorized access to the mobile device and its contents. It also helps prevent malicious software and websites from infecting the device or stealing your information.
Whenever an application tries to connect to the Internet, the Firewall will check the app against a list of allowed and blocked connections.
If the app is allowed to connect, it will be granted access to the network; if it is blocked, it will not be able to connect.
How Does Firewall Work In iPhones Calls?
Any number that isn’t on your whitelist is screened by Firewall, which bans all spam calls.
The program transfers your phone number to a Firewall number, which means that all incoming calls to your regular mobile phone number are routed through the Firewall system.
It’ll allow you to construct a whitelist from your device contacts during onboarding, which you may add to or delete. The Firewall will connect a call if the number is stored on your whitelist.
The Firewall will prevent incoming calls from numbers that aren’t kept in your whitelist. All filtered calls will be immediately sent to voicemail, and the call will be transcribed for you by Firewall.
How Much Will Firewall Cost You?
If you sign up for Firewall via the Apple Store on your iPhone, you’ll get a free subscription (trial period).
Your calls are sent to a Firewall number when you use Firewall. The free subscription includes full Firewall capabilities, including whitelisting and blocking robocalls.
In addition, you’ll get access to the use of a temporary Firewall number and voicemail (customized).
However, you should note that you will be charged for a paid subscription unless you cancel before the trial period.
Firewall is a unique and affordable robocall blocker program; it’ll only cost you a small fee of $3.99 per month.
When your membership subscription ends, you’ll have to reactivate it to enjoy the Firewall application and its numerous features.
You may cancel your Firewall membership at any time you desire. You’ll have to cancel your subscription through your iTunes account.
Note that you have to disable call forwarding before canceling so that your calls don’t continue to forward to the temporary number.

If you block someone, they will not be able to contact you through any of the apps on your device; this includes email, text messages, phone calls, and FaceTime. Additionally, blocked contacts will not be able to see your profile or find you in searches.
