If you’ve changed your mind and want to start receiving emails from a blocked user, it’s easy to unblock someone on Gmail. We’ll show you how to do this on your desktop and mobile phone.
To note: On the desktop version of Gmail, you have the option to unblock individual people. However, in the Gmail app for iPhone and Android, your only option is to unblock all of your blocked users at once. Keep this in mind when choosing a method to unblock people in your Gmail account.
