"Known senders" to be default when i open messages

Most of the time when i get messages they are SMS's from spam and stuff. The only reason i wanted to go is for iMessaging my friends and family. But it by default when i open the app it takes me right to the all messages" page.


  • Is there a way where i can open iMessage and have it directly take me to known senders?


iPhone 14, iOS 18

Hello!


There’s no way to do that. What you could do is go to: Settings > Apps > Messages > Notifications > Customize Notifications, then turn off Unknown Senders.


Take care.
