Strange Messages in Text
Both me and my wife are getting strange text messages. Does anyone know what is going on? We are not opening them. Is there a way to stop them?

Malwarebytes Mobile Security:
Try using Malwarebytes Mobile Security. The free version lets you filter our text messages. I use it on my iPhone, and never seem to get a scam text. Get it Here: https://apps.apple.com/app/apple-store/id1327105431. If from eMailers, then block out the domain, particularly one that contains inappropriate words.
But the message is coming from a gmail account and Messages will not let me add an email to the "block senders". What are my options?
