Block SMS texts from unknown senders
- The ability to block/ignore SMS text messages from unknown senders (senders not in your contact list)
We have this ability for iMessage and the Phone app. But not for SMS texts.
Please do not post a link or explain how to block texts/callers once they have already made the offense. We know how to do this. No, what we are looking for is a way to prevent from being punched in the face before we open the front door (if we don't recognize, we don't open).
The spammers have the ability to change their phone number (on the cheap). Making it impossible to perma-block said spammer.
-The best way I've found around this somewhat, is by permanently putting my phone into 'Do Not Disturb' mode, and then modifying everyone in my contacts list to be an 'emergency bypass' contact.
