Report spam or junk messages

When you use iMessage, you can report spam messages to Apple. Depending on your carrier and country or region, you can also report spam you receive with SMS and MMS.


In the list of messages, press and hold the spam message, then tap Report Junk. Or, if you’ve opened the message and the person isn’t saved in your contacts, scroll to the bottom of the message, tap Report Junk, then tap Delete and Report Junk.


The sender’s information and the message are sent to Apple, and the message is permanently deleted from your device.

Note: Reporting junk or spam doesn’t prevent the sender from sending messages, but you can block the number to stop receiving them.

thank you, i appreciate your assistance. When i go to consciously delete a message, the pop-up says delete and mark as spam. it’s confusing if your new to iphone OS. Android’s gave the option to mark as spam separately, and then warns, -If you mark as spam the message will be deleted from phone [and not retrievalable]

Iphone has a lot of pop ups and swiping involved… i’m learning

i accidently marked a text spam when it said delete and mark as spam
