I have reported iMessages as junk several times to Apple but I continue to receive more iMessages sent to 20+ phone numbers and an email with hearts and other symbols. It’s only getting worse. Is Apple really doing anything about these iMessages?
iPhone SE, iOS 14
Such amount of spam messages are usually sent by spam bot, then there is little you can do except delete one by one.
You can try to prevent it by leaving no or almost no traces of your private information such as email address, telephone number on the Internet.
Playing a game online is fun, but such a website needs 'resources' to pay for their website.
· Free games and applications are also not completely free, think of ads and others.
· You can also report to your Internet Service Provider.
'Free' doesn't exist, there's always something hiding behind the word Free.

I do block each phone number and email and have been deleting the text spam message. However after doing all of these items, Apple gives the option to “Report as Junk and delete”. If Apple asks me to report these incidents, I was expecting Apple to take some type of action. Apparently that was a wrong assumption! So why report it if Apple does nothing to prevent this continued abuse. The more I respond by deleting each phone number and the text messages, the more I get. Last night I received 4 such text messages listing 20+ other phones numbers. A response from one partying was “STOP”.
