How to set up text message blocking on iPhone

With the popularity of smart phones, we receive a large number of text messages every day, some of which are advertising and promotional messages, and some of which are spam text messages. These text messages not only waste our time, but also occupy the space of the mobile phone. Fortunately, however, iPhones offer some features to block these annoying text messages. This article will introduce how to block text messages using iPhone.

To block text messages, first open the Settings app, then scroll and tap Messages. In the message settings interface, you can see some options, including "Blocked Contacts and Invalid Numbers" and "Filter Unknown Messages."

Click "Blocked Contacts and Invalid Numbers" and you can see a list of blocked contacts and invalid numbers. To add a new contact or number, simply click the "Add New Contact" button in the upper right corner of the page and enter the number you want to block in the pop-up box. You can also select contacts to block from your address book.

Another option is "Filter unknown information". When this option is enabled, your iPhone will automatically block text messages from unknown senders. You can find this option in the upper right corner of the information settings interface and slide it to the "On" state. This feature is very useful and can effectively filter out a large amount of spam.

In addition to the above methods, you can also use third-party applications to block text messages. For example, applications such as "Mail Filter", "Truecaller" and "SMS Filter" all provide the function of blocking text messages. You just need to search for and download these apps in the App Store, and then follow the app's instructions to set them up.

Additionally, you can choose to mark unwanted text messages as spam. In the message list, long press the unwanted text message and tap the "More" option that appears. In the drop-down menu, you can see an option that says "Spam." Click on it and the text message will be marked as spam and will be moved to the spam folder. This can help you better organize your text messages and quickly filter out the important information.

Finally, you can also choose not to receive calls from unknown numbers. Open the Settings app, scroll and tap Phone. In the phone settings interface, you can see an option called "Caller Recognition", slide it to "On". This option will check the caller number and display the label it belongs to. If it is an unknown number, you can choose not to answer it.

To summarize, iPhone provides multiple methods to block text messages. You can block text messages by adding contacts and invalid numbers, enabling filtering of unknown messages, using third-party apps, marking text messages as spam, or opting out of receiving calls from unknown numbers. I hope the above methods can help you and enjoy a more refreshing text messaging experience on your phone.
