someone signed me up for spam texts that come from multiple different numbers

someone signed me up for spam texts and every time i block them, a new number shows up with the same message. how do i block spam texts from being sent to me? they’re coming once every day and at this point it’s getting really frustrating.


they always say “stop=end” but when i say stop they don’t stop.

Hi walyak,


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. We understand you have some questions about filtering or blocking messages. We're happy to provide some information to help.


While the only way to block a number would be to know the number, or block it after a message is sent. You can filter unknown messages, and report those that are spam with the steps here: Block, filter, and report messages on iPhone


Thanks

What you’re experiencing is, well, normal. Unfortunately.


You will not be able to block these calls based on “sender”, as the “sending” numbers are faked.


You’ll want to filter all unknown senders.


Also check with your carrier, and see if they have additional filtering capabilities available.


Do NOT interact with these messages. If you do that, you will only get more spam.
