Was the option to Report Junk removed? I do not have that option (iOS 15.6.1)

Why is the “report junk” option no longer visible when receiving SMS from a number not in contacts?


Also why do I keep receiving SMS after blocking a caller?

To report spam or junk messages you receive with SMS or MMS, contact your carrier.


Report spam or junk messages

With iMessage, a message you receive from someone who isn’t saved in your contacts might be identified as possible spam or junk. You can report these messages to Apple.

In the message, tap Report Junk, then tap Delete and Report Junk.

The sender’s information and the message are sent to Apple, and the message is permanently deleted from your device.

Note: Reporting junk or spam doesn’t prevent the sender from sending messages, but you can block the number to stop receiving them.
