There should be more than one button to press before a conversation is reported as junk! And sent to Apple and Verizon! To me that seems like a huge violation of privacy to make it so easy to send on accident private family and friend messages to Apple and Verizon! We should have to agree through multiple step process to confirm we want our private messages forwarded to ANYONE!

The problem with recovering deleted messages is that it just shows phone numbers and not the associated name or messages. I just accidentally reported an Instacart message as junk. I have no idea what number it’s associated with. This has happened multiple times already with other companies like FedEx or Amazon that send important messages. The name in those cases is FAR more important than the number.


This new feature is TERRIBLY EXECUTED. The delete/junk link is right beside the regular delete link and has no confirmation, so it’s very easy to click it accidentally. The rickety, uninformative undo features are no good except for the narrow use case of a person with a number that you know by heart. I venture to say this is the distinct minority of messages these days. Fix it. Please.
