Message filtering not working at all

I have message filtering AND a third party message blocking app and numbers that are not saved to my contact are still able to message me? This is the most frustrating thing

Assuming this means Settings > Messages > Filter Unknown Senders, note that only filters iMessages.

numbers that are not saved to my contact[s] are still able to message me
