I understand how to scroll through the blocked list and remove a blocked contact. My problem is that I have 100’s if not a thousand or so blocked contacts (one of the challenges of having the title CEO on LinkedIn which encourages “everyone and their dog” to message me and try to sell me crap!).


The ideal solution is a search box at the top of the blocked list where I can search for a particular string or number sequence or list the blocked contacts in alphabetical or date order, thereby facilitating search for that blocked contacts that shouldn’t have been blocked.
