How to silence text message notifications sent from unknown senders in Messages? I see a lot of out-of-date questions including Apple's own support page about this topic and thought I would update it.

Notifications from Unknown Senders This isn’t true. Even when you filter messages from known and unknown, I still ger notifications from unknown senders. That includes spam, and lewd and crude messages. It’s not only potentially dangerous to my phone, but also just down right annoying. Their statement either needs to be removed or the phone needs to do what they say it can. I have been downright harassed by spam texts for the last 2 weeks (block numbers but they come from different numbers each time) and the only option they suggest is changing my number. It’s really laughable!!

Can you add a notification filter for unknown senders I’m getting aggravated about how many spam email messages I get through instant message not only that but they come in groups and they do it four or five minutes apart. Can there be added encryption with my phone number or can there be added notification setting where i don’t receive any from unknown senders? That would be nice! And why do iPhone chargers suck so damn much because I can’t keep mine no longer than four weeks before I have to get another one and I take care of them the best way I can, treating them with all the tender love and care.
