Turn off Report Junk in iMessage on iPhone

I totally agree. It's in a terrible location and I've accidentally selected it multiple times now. It should be in a right-clock and hold menu rather than popping up each time I want to delete an iMessage/SMS. This issue, if not resolved, will make me switch back to an Android in the future. It's that much of a pain.

Apple does not read this forum. Here is the link that Apple reads→Product Feedback - Apple. If you want to discuss it with Apple, rather than just suggest something to Apple, use the Get Support link at the top of this page.

No one here cares if you go Android and yelling (typing in all caps is considered yelling) at Apple to fix something on this user to user only forum goes nowhere.

Ps: I'm not in love with the new feature, but I have learned how to use it at this point.

Nope. Apple Support Communities is not a discussion forum. It is a technical support forum hosted by Apple for users to ask technical support questions, which users can solve. This is not a complaint forum, nor a discussion forum. The question was asked, how do you turn this feature off. It has been answered, that currently turning it off isn't an available option. Continuing to bemoan this is a pointless effort given no on here can effect any change and Apple doesn't participate here so telling other users what Apple should do is a waste of time and effort.

If you actually worked for Apple you should already know what this forum is. Perhaps you might want to read the Terms of Use --> Apple Support Communities Use Agreement - Apple Community

I’m having the same issue. And I’ve accidentally reported a few senders who are not junk. How do I unmark a sender as “junk”?

Hope Apple reads this forum …I can’t stand this ‘enhancement’ and want to disable it. It’s a major time waster and bothersome.

Apple…build in the option in Settings to toggle this feature OFF.

Clearly, either the UX team or leadership fell down on this one… at the very least, it shouldn’t be invoked for those in one’s contacts.

Telling other users in this user to user forum won’t change anything. You should let Apple know how you feel:Product Feedback - Apple

Here is how you let Apple know --> Feedback - iPhone - Apple

They won't respond to you, but they will read what you send.

In Settings > Mail just turn off the “follow up suggestion” toggle for messages.

That's for mail and will do nothing to prevent the Report Junk option in Messages.

There should definitely be an "opt-in/opt-out" for this feature.

Did you tell Apple?

Use the feedback link one post above your post to tell Apple what you think it should be. Telling other users on a user to user only forum gets you nothing.

Go to Settings/General/Software Update and tap Install.

100% agreed. I like to clean up and keep my message folder short and simple. So I delete message threads all the time. The report as junk makes me worry I won’t receive future important updates because I accidentally marked as junk once… an easy fix would just be to include the different options in the same pop up. That is “delete; Mark as junk and delete; cancel” or similar - I don’t know why they have to be two separate pop up’s…

This is the only thing about iOS 16 that I don't like so far. It is driving me insane because I've accidentally reported as junk at least 3 entities that I definitely did NOT want to report as junk. And I also don't know where to go to 'undo' this action. I'm concerned that I will be blocking myself from important messages. I hope that's not the case, but at any rate, Apple, please please move this interface to another method. Tap and hold, then Report Junk would work, but DEFINITELY don't keep the current arrangement where it automatically brings up the option to take such a rash action and makes it WAY to easy to accidentally do. And don't add an extra step to create a barrier to quickly deleting text threads like this does.
