Apple 15 I keep getting spam texts

Thanks so much for the answer. I agree. We just have to live with it until Apple finds a way to block them!

You're welcome. But it's not Apple's job to stop spam. Apple doesn't deliver cellular communications. Your carrier does. We ALL need to push our carriers to find better solutions to the onslaught of these messages.

There is this: Block, filter, and report messages on iPhone - Apple Support

Spammers and scammers like to change the numbers they call from to get around blocks, so blocking their spam and scam messages can be like playing "Whack a Mole."

One option is to "Filter Unknown Senders", so messages from unknown senders go to a special folder – and your phone does not notify you of them. But then if someone who has legitimate business with you, but is not on your regular Contacts list, sends you a message, you might overlook it.

We ALL get spam messages. And honestly, I have found no way to stop them. You can contact your carrier, who delivers your messages and ask what options they offer for spam blocking. But honestly, I'm with AT&T and use their tools to help block them, yet they aren't able to do much. It's just something we unfortunately have to live with.
