Cannot report spam sent in group imessage

Got an inappropriate spam message sent to a group list (20). The report spam link does not appear when spammers send to a group. I can delete it and block the the original sender. Will that also block all the rest of the group that wants respond? And will that alert the slammer that my number is a working number?

iPhone 7, iOS 12

Hello Chase-bc,


Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. I understand you are concerned with a spam message and blocking features with the Report link. You've reached the right place for help.


To answer your questions, only the person/number that was blocked will no longer be able to leave messages. You'll want to continue blocking the other numbers from the group if you receive any messages.


No alerts are sent to the number you block from your iPhone. You can learn more and what you can do here: Block phone numbers and contacts on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support



Thanks and have a great day.
