“Report junk” pop up when deleting iMessages

Hello amypaddle1,

Thanks for posting in the Apple Support Communities!

We understand you're looking to disable the pop-up when deleting iMessages, so we'd like to see how we can help out.

This would be expected to appear you're deleting an iMessage that isn't saved as a contact. You can also filter these messages to a different list to delete and report them at once or not if you'd like. Check out more details here: Block, filter, and report messages on iPhone - Apple Support

Report spam or junk messages

When you use iMessage, you can report spam messages to Apple. Depending on your carrier and country or region, you can also report spam you receive with SMS and MMS.

In the list of messages, press and hold the spam message, then tap Report Junk. Or, if you’ve opened the message and the person isn’t saved in your contacts, scroll to the bottom of 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.

If this is happening with all messages, including contacts, reach out directly to Apple Support to check into this with you.

Have a great day!

The report junk question is probably one of the most annoying new features of iMessages. So annoying thinking of switching to an android phone. Some put a kill switch on this. With two step verifications it’s non stop extra questions which should just be a one swipe delete feature.

No, you can't disable it.
