I want to block a spam message in iMessage, but I cannot find how to do it?

Hello I am trying to block spam messages in iMessage, and I tried to follow the procedures in:

Block messages in Messages on Mac – Apple Support (AU)


But with this, and my version of iMessage [Version 14.0 (6000)] on my MacOS version [macOS 12.2.1 (21D62) ]

>> I cannot find the menu function to do the following:

  1. In the Messages app  on your Mac, select a conversation.
  2. Choose Conversations > Block Person, then click Block.


The facility "Block Person, then click Block" does not appear in my MacOS version.


On my iPhone, I have also tried the following:

If you're in Messages, open the conversation, tap the contact at the top of the conversation, then tap the Info button . Tap info  scroll down, then tap Block this Caller.


... but again this function does not appear.


What can I do to block spam messages from unwanted phone numbers????!!

You have all the right information list in your above question and good work on that.


This maybe related to your issue.


The current version of Monterey is version 12.3.1 and on the iPhone iOS 15.4.1.


Both bring some Bug and Security updates
