Is there an app or some service for iPhone that will block unknown senders from texting viral links to a group of 20 phone numbers? I am getting so many of these and going in and blocking the sender + 20 numbers each time is tedious and a real burden. I don't even get the option in the message on my phone to directly 'report' it.
iPhone X, iOS 14
Go to Settings > Messages. Turn on Filter Unknown Senders. Note: You canʼt open any links in a message from an unknown sender until you add the sender to your contacts or reply to the message.

I also started receiving creepy messages about two weeks ago. I tried blocking every email that was associated with the message. But I stress receive a new message from a different email account daily. Please help.
I am also receiving these rather creepy sexually harassing text messages that are sent out to groups of 20. It includes an email address as well which I block but a new one is then created. Carrier has no viable solution. It’s so disappointing that Apple has no solution either.
Having the same issue, and the above solution does not actually work. Even with this on, it does not filter the messages, and most importantly, it does not prevent notifications. Please help!
I am receiving those creepy messages, too! There HAS to be a way to block these messages. PLEASE, APPLE! HELP!!
does not work. message still comes through and is notified!
Arghhhh, me too! Have spent hours with carrier tech support, no answers there either.
