Is there a way to receive texts from ONLY those folks in your contact list?


I’ve reviewed the other posts, and rather than waiting for someone I don’t know to text me, I’d rather be pro-active. It seems like it should be a simple enough feature to only allow those numbers in your contacts list to text you. But I am unable to find anything like that.


Thanks!

iPhone 7, iOS 12, I haven’t downloaded 12.01 yet

Settings>Messeges>Filter Unknown Senders.

That will disable notifications for senders that are not in your contacts and sort them into a separate list.
