Spam text messages from many gmail accounts

Is there a way to block text messages from gmail accounts or all email accounts? It started with a few and I blocked them one at a time but I’m getting 10 or more a day now and the Gmail accounts are all different. I can’t keep blocking individual accounts as this is getting quite annoying and time consuming. Anything I can do? iPhone software 14.2. Thanks.

Hi haha4fun,


We understand you're receiving a lot of spam SMS text messages on your iPhone, and we'd like to help. To confirm, are these green SMS text messages, or blue iMessages? If they're green SMS text messages, we encourage you to speak with your wireless carrier about possible blocking options, because these messages would be sent through their network.


Another option would be to enable Filter Unknown Senders on your iPhone, as shown here:

Block, filter, and report messages on iPhone


If you have any other questions or concerns, please let us know!


Have a great day.
