## How To Block Spam Calls/Messages On iPhone - Guide

You may receive spam text messages and calls on your iPhone.  It can be very difficult to block them permanently as spammers can use multiple numbers to send messages to your iPhone's inbox over and over again.  However, Apple has developed a trick to sort these messages out of the iMessage inbox, making them less annoying.

By enabling the feature, you'll see all text messages from people in your address book in one place and all messages from unknown senders, including spam or text messages from people not in your address book, in a separate column.  In this article we will show you how to Block spam texts on iPhone.

## How to Block Spam Calls/Messages on iPhone

It's easy to block individual numbers on your iPhone.  See how:

At the Phone app, tap Recents, then tap the Info icon next to the number or contact you want to block.  Scroll down and tap Block this caller.

In the FaceTime app, tap the Info icon next to the number, contact, or email address you want to block, then scroll down to tap Block this caller.

In the Messages app, open the conversation with the contact you want to block, tap the contact at the top and tap the Info button, scroll down and tap Block this caller.

Once a caller is blocked, you won't get notifications when they call or send a message, but they won't be able to say they've been blocked, and they can still leave voice messages.  You can review and unblock callers at any time:

Open settings, Phone, and tap Blocked contacts.

Open Settings, FaceTime and tap Blocked contacts under Calls.

Open Settings, Messaging and tap Blocked contacts in SMS/MMS.

### Filtering out unknown callers and senders

Unfortunately, blocking individual numbers is not very effective when telemarketers or scammers are contacting you as they use multiple numbers and change them frequently.  But there is something else you can do:

Open Settings, Phone, and scroll down to tap Silence Unknown Callers.  When you toggle it feature On, it automatically silences calls from unsaved numbers in your contacts.  They can still leave a voicemail and the calls will show up in your recent calls list.

You can do the same for messages by going to Settings, Messages and scrolling down to toggle on Filter Unknown Senders.
