Junk Message Popup ios 16

How do I turn off the second button to report/don't report junk every time I delete a message from someone not in my contacts? It would be a feature if I could do a drop down when I get a spam or junk message, but the current implementation makes me click on the do not report every time I get a secondary verification code etc. very annoying. way too easy to hit the wrong button and report something I want to continue to get.

iPhone 14

Hello sailer44.


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. There are certain options you can adjust and edit for filtering messages from unknown senders. You can review those steps here: Block phone numbers, contacts, and emails on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support


To filter messages, go to Settings > Messages, scroll down and turn on Filter Unknown Senders. In Messages, tap  Filters, then tap Unknown Senders. You won't get notifications for these messages.

It also states this information as well:

You can report iMessages that look like spam or junk from the Messages app. If you get an iMessage from someone who's not saved in your Contacts, you'll see a Report Junk link under the message. Tap Report Junk, then tap Delete and Report Junk. Messages will forward the sender's information and the message to Apple, as well as delete the message from your device. You can't undo deleting a message.
Reporting junk doesn't block the sender from being able to send another message. If you don't want to receive these messages, you need to block the contact.

There doesn't appear to be a built-in option to fully disable the button to report a message as junk. We encourage you to leave Apple feedback on things they can change or update here: Feedback - Messages for iOS and iPadOS - Apple


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. Cheers.

I agree it would be nice to have this feature, turned off, or have the ability to turn it off when needed. I reported this is a suggestion to Apple as well; however, I believe they do not like other posts agreeing with the original request. I had two that I added, but both were deleted because I would like to see that feature to, even though it has been reported as a suggestion quite a few times by myself and all my family and friends.
