Silence unknown texts

Hello,


Is there a feature for texts similar to the phone for silencing unknown texters? I want texts from people not in my contact list to not make a sound. They could also not show up as a visual notification either. I only want text messages from my contact list to interrupt me when my audio is enabled.


If not, can you please submit this as a feature request?


Thank you!

Go to settings, tap on notifications, tap on messages, scroll down to the bottom then tap on “Customize Notifications”, then turn off “Unknown Senders”


Hope this helps!
