No one wants his or her iPhone to be filled with all kinds of junk messages, but not everyone knows how to effectively block spam messages on iPhone . Thus, this article introduces three practical solutions in detail.
Way 1: Set Filter Unknown Senders for messages.
Step 1: Enter SettingsMessages and you will find message filtering option—Filter Unknown Senders. Tap the icon and make it green just as the image shows. You will read such tip under the option “turn off the notifications for iMessages from people who are not in your contacts and sort them into a separate list”.
Step 2: Check your Messages settings now. After you enable the Filter Unknown Sender, you will see a new tab for Unknown Senders in Messages. Of course, you will never get notifications about such spam texts.
Way 2: Add contacts to the block list of Messages.
Step 1: Open SettingsMessagesBlocked.
Step 2: Click Add New to continue.
Step 3: Choose contacts to add them to the block list (see the picture below).
Way 3: Block the spam messages received.
Step 1: Open a spam message.
Step 2: Click Contact on the top-right corner.
Step 3: Tap the inverted exclamation mark, as shown in the following screen shot.
Step 4: Choose Block this Caller in the Info interface.
