"how do unblock myself on messages: I show as user blocking messages in a text string. I did not block, it seems it did it on its own. I phone 13 with IOS 17 answer did not work. I created a test string, named it, used it for a few weeks now everyone gets a message that I am blocked. I have followed all the tips and tricks. If I did so on the device...how did I do it so I can un do it....cause the answer did not work. Nobody has access, stop making assumptions. 0 out of 10 for helpfulness."

Troubleshooting Automatic Replies:

So, does this occur on every chat thread? Or does this only have on certain threads? You might want to talk with the moderator of the thread, as they are the one who configures it all.
B. Contact your Carrier:
See if you carrier is have issues with other people reposting this. Perhaps you need to install a carrier update? Go here: Manually Update your Carrier Settings on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
C. Reset to Factory Settings:
To leave a thread, then Moderator must do so. You cannot leave it on your own. So, ask that they remove you as a participant, and then let you back in. If they decline, then you'd have to retire this to factory settings, as if you were to sell it. Perform as interacted here, including the iCloud Logout and backup creation: What to do Before you Sell, Give Away, or Trade in your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
