Trypophobia trigger by group bubbles

The new group text message bubbles trigger my trypophobia. Can it be changed back?

This is a serious issue sometimes I spend hours until I recover from that trigger

Silencing spam group messages I’ve been receiving spam group messages of a sexual nature from both phone numbers and email addresses. After the original spam message, then I receive dozens of replies from the other numbers profanely telling the spammer to 🤬. I have turned on the “filter unknown messages”, and it puts them in another folder, but I still get the ding and the notifications on my main screen, complete with obscene language my boss, coworkers, or children could see. I understand that Apple is not able to stop these because they are SMS, but why can’t you turn off the dings and the notifications for them? I could at least live with that. I only want to be notified of texts from my contacts. And yes, I mute the messages and block the callers, but it does nothing to alleviate this aggravation. Ding. Ding. Ding. Ding. Ding. Ding. Ding. Ding.

No it cannot, sell your iPhone and buy a phone running Android, or an iPhone that no longer supports the latest iOS. Make sure to make an iTunes backup.

Edit: yes you can, go to settings, messsages, and disable show contact photos.
