How do I report a phishing text message on my iPhone?

I receive this text message that says: Activity Alert: You have been charged $114.02 via Apple Pay for a subscription. Call Support at +18*******4, If it was not done by you.


This is a phishing text message also known as smishing is a harmful text message that tries to trick you into giving away personal information. The goal is to steal your money or your identity.


what i did: Report the message to the federal trade commission (FTC) at ReportFraud.ftc.gov and I also forward the message to SPAM (7726).
