How can I block spam sms messages on my iOS device?

[PapasQuishy]

I've been getting spam or phishing messages sent via sms to my iphone several times throughout the day. They always start with a hook (ie. URGENT - if you have taken Zantac..., or Your package was not delivered, click here to track... etc...) and have a link that I dare not click.

How can I stop getting these messages? I contacted the Apple Support, but they said SMS messages are not something that can be filtered by Apple features.

Is there a way I can get rid of this nonsense?

Me too.

Receiving unexpected calls and text can be inconvenient. We are happy to help and review all the options available. Do you currently have any Call Filter or blocking apps?
