How do I retrieve a number when I accidentally hit the “report junk to Apple” button on a text message. I want to continue receiving texts from this number but I accidentally hit the wrong button. Does this mean I won’t be getting any texts from them still. How do I undo this?
iPhone 11, iOS 16
Is that contact in your contacts? Assuming it was not as that option usually shows when the sender is not in your contact list. Add them to your list. Also check your blocked list in settings or click on the phone number in the text message and then info to see if it shows as blocked. If it doesn’t you’re fine. If it does, unblock it.

Report spam or junk messages
When you use iMessage, you can report spam messages to Apple. Depending on your carrier and country or region, you can also report spam you receive with SMS and MMS.
In the list of messages, press and hold the spam message, then tap Report Junk. Or, if you’ve opened the message and the person isn’t saved in your contacts, scroll to the bottom of the message, tap Report Junk, then tap Delete and Report Junk.
The sender’s information and the message are sent to Apple, and the message is permanently deleted from your device.
Note: Reporting junk or spam doesn’t prevent the sender from sending messages, but you can block the number to stop receiving them.
If you don’t see the option to report spam or junk messages you receive with SMS or MMS, contact your carrier. See the Apple Support article Wireless carrier support and features for iPhone.
this doesn’t answer my question tho. I accidentally reported a text message as junk and wanted to keep that number as a contact. How do I retrieve it again and does Apple block that sender from sending another text?
