A friend called me asking if I knew how to keep the pervy text messages from showing on her iPhone. I did not, though I was pretty sure there must be a way. Apparently Android phones have had filtering on text messages for a while now, while iPhones started that option with iOS 13. The basic way to do that is to go to Settings, Messages, and toggle the Filter Unknown Senders. Once that is done, a filter option shows in your Messaging App that allows some filtering options. I have several articles on this HERE, HERE, and HERE. Try it out.  Are you getting a ton of spam text messages? How annoying is it to be interrupted with a notification on your iPhone, only for it to be yet another junk message? Here's a secret: you can make these go away using a feature already in iOS. Here's how you do it. First, open Settings. Scroll down and down and down until you find Messages. Tap it.  Next, scroll down and down and down until you find "Filter Unknown Messages." This is the magic. Turn it on. You'll have to scroll almost three pages to find this thing, but it's worth it.  That's it. Now, if you go into your messages app, you'll see tabs at the top of the screen. On the left will be "Contacts & SMS" which will contain messages from known contacts in your address book. On the right will be the new "Unknown Senders" tab.
This may send some of your two factor identification codes to unknown sender so be aware. Comments are closed.
