Filter Messages from Unknown Spam Texts in Mac Messages

I am being hammered by spam texts from a political party. iOS Messages is filtering out Unknown Senders so these texts do not clog up Messages on my iPhone.


But I cannot figure out how to set up a similar filter on MacOs Monterey. Is this possible?

not really. you can delete the conversation from Monterey's Messages App, but the best thing you can do is make sure your phone is synchronizing its contacts and so is the computer to the same iCloud account, and add the phone number of the sender to Blocked phone number on your iPhone.
