How to stop unwanted text messages

I am receiving pornagraphic texts on my iPhone 8. They are being sent to me and 20 other phone numbers. How can I stop or block these messages? I don’t want to be accused of being the one who is sending these! I usually just delete them without ever clicking on the links but they continue by the dozens everyday. Please help!

I have blocked the messages numerous times. Each time, they come back with 19 I blocked and one new number. Isn’t there any other solution apple can offer? Following the blocking, deleting, and reporting is NOT WORKING. look at the number I am blocking daily from my blocking list. A new number can’t be the solution because whoever is doing this can get the new number.

I have the same problem, and the intensity has multiplied. There has to be something we can do. Not only am I getting these messages but they're appearing on all of my devices and deleting them only applies to the device I am deleting on, so the iCloud deleting across all devices is not working. It's exhausting!
