How do I remove myself from a SPAM group text? There’s a new type of spam that is using non iMessage to send a message to a group of random numbers. I’ve just been added to 2 today and I’m getting so many texts. I’ve blocked the originating numbers but all the real people responding to it is causing me to have one after another after another texts. I have hidden the alerts but how can I actually leave the conversation? This is SPAM and we need a solution to deal with it.

Group iMessage spam with hidden sender cannot be blocked Recently I have received a few imessage spams that have the following characteristics: they are send as group messages, i.e. there are two senders. one of the senders has a phone number, while the other one DOES NOT HAVE ANY PHONE NUMBER NOR EMAIL ADDRESS. the phone number can be blocked, but the hidden sender can not be blocked. Message app does not show a "report junk" link for this kind of message. A example of such a spam: one sender has a phone number +855319610958 , the other sender has a name "🌅澳门新葡京赌场招聘代理" but does not have a phone number or email address.
