How To Unblock Gmail Contacts

The Problem: Ghost Blocked Contacts in Gmail Google shares contact lists across its entire ecosystem. Blocking someone in Google Chat, Google Meet, or Google Drive automatically impacts Gmail. You might stop receiving their emails, or their messages might land directly in your spam folder.

If you are on the go, you can unblock contacts directly from your iPhone or Android device.

When you unblock a contact on Gmail, they will be able to send you emails again. You will also start receiving emails from them in your inbox. Note that unblocking a contact does not notify them that they were previously blocked.

So go ahead. Unblock that old friend. That vendor. Yes, even that boss. Your inbox is a place for second chances—and for making sure the next "urgent" email actually finds you.
