Re: Blocking unwanted text messages

2022-04-08 Thread Barbara Stahl
I use this method too. However, I usually have to swipe down to info double tap 
it and then another dialog box thing opens and then I have to swipe down to 
info again and double tap it and then the block option appears. 
However, there are some messages usually those with multiple numbers to which 
there does not appear to be a block option. Does anyone know how to block these 
particular spam texts?

the message or list of messages from that number or contact.
2.  At the top of the list of messages from that number or person is a

Blocking unwanted text messages

2014-08-31 Thread Donald L. Roberts
Because my iPhone number has erroneously gotten in someone's 
distribution list, I would like to block all texts from this number. 
Please tell me how to do so.  I have blocked phone calls from some 
numbers but don't know how to preclude text messages from unwelcome posters.


Thanks.

Don Roberts

Hello Don,
From within the message, double tap on the contact button which will
be at the upper right of the screen. Next, flick right until you get
to the more info button and double tap. In this dialogue, you will
find a button that states block this caller. Simply double tap on this
button, flick right to yes and double tap. This number will now be
blocked.
Hope that helps

Thanks for confirming. I was under the assumption that text messages could not
