To block texts on an iPhone, the easiest way is to do it directly from the Messages app by following these steps:
- Open the Messages app and select the message from the contact or number you want to block.
- Tap the contact's name or number at the top of the conversation.
- Tap "Info" or the info button.
- Scroll down and tap "Block this Caller."
- Confirm by tapping "Block Contact."
Blocking someone this way will prevent them from sending you texts, calling, or FaceTiming you. Additionally, to block messages from unknown senders or spam, go to:
- Settings app > Messages > Message Filtering,
- Turn on "Filter Unknown Senders" to separate messages from unknown numbers into a separate list without notification.
You can also manage your blocked contacts in Settings under Messages > Blocked Contacts, where you can add or remove blocked numbers manually. This method covers both blocking individual contacts and filtering spam messages on iPhone effectively.
