Blocking Text Messages From @icloud Accounts

Hello,


Lately I'm getting too many spam text messages from @icloud.com accounts. How can I block myself from getting text messages from them ? I don't mind missing text messages from my contacts in that process since nobody actually uses it.

I think that is not possible?

But you can filter messages:


Filter iMessage messages from unknown senders

Filtering messages from unknown senders turns off iMessage notifications from senders who aren’t in your contacts and sorts the messages into the Unknown Senders tab in the Messages list.

  1. Go to Settings  > Messages.
  2. Turn on Filter Unknown Senders.
  3. Note: You canʼt open any links in a message from an unknown sender until you add the sender to your contacts or reply to the message.
