Spam and unread messages on my Watch and Mac

Spam texts keep showing on my Mac and Watch. They are not mirrored on my iPhone. It kinda drives me crazy. My unread count on my Mac is like 80 but its all spam and I don't know how to isolate them without finding them all manually.


My watch is supposed to 'Mirror' my iPhone but it keeps letting a bunch on junk through.


MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.14

Hello zacharijah,


After reviewing your post, it seems like you are receiving spam text messages on the iPhone and they are being sent to the Apple Watch and Mac.

Were the spam messages from a contact that was blocked when you received them?

"Report spam or junk in the Messages app

You can report iMessages that look like spam or junk from the Messages app. If you get an iMessage from someone who's not saved in your Contacts, you'll see a Report Junk link under the message.

Tap Report Junk, then tap Delete and Report Junk. 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. If you don't want to receive these messages, you need to block the contact.

To report SMS and MMS messages, contact your carrier."


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


Please don't hesitate to let us know if the steps resolved your issue or if you need additional assistance.


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. Have a nice day.
