I keep getting inappropriate spam messages

how do I make it where I only recieve calls and messages from my contacts?

I had it this way before, but for some reason it changed and now I keep getting inappropriate spam messages from random people and I can’t figure out how to stop it.

iPhone 8, iOS 14

Greetings, R0S3_.


Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. It’s understandable that you’d want to prevent spam messages from coming through. 


The best thing to do is to block the numbers: Block phone numbers, contacts, and emails on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch -


You can also reach out to your carrier to inquire if they have any blocks. We hope this helps! Thanks for being a part of the community. 


Best wishes.
