Accidentally Report Junk of messages

Hi so I was trying to delete text on my phone but I accidentally clicked report as junk. Is their anyway I could get the messages back? Like unreport it? Also what happens to those messages that got reported will people read them?

You clearly misunderstood...it meant...Reporting junk doesn't block the sender from being able to send another message. So you don't have to worry about it...that is the concern of most people...


Also it was not meant for you...it was not your post...I do not work for Apple...I am a regular user like you giving up my free time and resources here...

What do you mean with „you don’t have to worry about it“

Ever heard the word privacy? Can you imagine that your customers might not be cool with your employees going through all messages just because you put the „report junk“ at the position the user usually finds the delete button?

I just reported all messages on my iPad as junk due to your suboptimal design and I have a massive problem with strangers reading them. An „undo“ option is absolutely necessary.

Block phone numbers, contacts, and emails on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support


Messages will forward the sender's information and the message to Apple, as well as delete the message from your device. You can't undo deleting a message.

Reporting junk doesn't block the sender from being able to send another message.


So you don't have to worry about it...
