In Android 6.0 ( Marshmallow API 23 ), blocked numbers are typically stored in a database, and you can't easily access this database without root access. Android manages the blocked numbers through a content provider, and this information is not directly exposed to users for security and privacy reasons.


at August 2016, Android 7.0 ( API 24 ) release introduces a BlockedNumberProvider content provider that stores a list of phone numbers the user has specified should not be able to contact them via telephony communications (calls, SMS, MMS). src - https://source.android.com/docs/core/connect/block-numbers
