Blocking unwanted (spam) text messages I know how to block unwanted phone calls on my Apple SE iPhone—by pressing the Info button and choosing the "Block this Caller" option. However, when I get a spam text message from some unknown advertiser, no info button appears. It seems all that I can do is to delete the message, but this will not block the advertiser from texting me again. Is there a way to block such unwanted messages on the iPhone SE?

Blocking unwanted callers and texters In IOS 15.2.1 I can no longer block unwanted numbers, whether texts or actual calls. The instruction is to tap the arrow next to the caller name or number and choose "block this call" or tap the text message picture or number and scroll dow to do the same thing. Used to work fine, but those choices are gone in 15.2.1 Why? and How can I regain the option to block?

No option to block a specific sender I am using iOS 13.3 on an iPhone SE. Page https://support.apple.com/en-ca/guide/iphone/iph203ab0be4/ios provides 3 steps to "Block messages from a specific person or number". When I press the "i" button for the number at the top of the message conversation, I do not see an option for "Block this Caller". The only options I see are: * Send My Current Location * Share My Location * Hide Alerts I created a contact for the offending party so that I could block them using "Settings > Messages > Blocked Contacts". Why doesn't the procedure for the webpage apply?
