How To Hide Text Messages On Iphone 6s Plus

Block, filter, and report messages on iPhone

In the Messages app , you can block unwanted messages, filter messages from unknown senders, and report spam or junk messages.

Block messages from a specific person or number

In a Messages conversation, tap the name or number at the top of the conversation.
Scroll down, then tap Block this Caller.

To view and manage your list of blocked contacts and phone numbers, go to Settings > Messages > Blocked Contacts. See the Apple Support article Block phone numbers, contacts, and emails on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

Filter iMessage messages from unknown senders

Filtering messages from unknown senders turns off iMessage notifications from senders who aren't in your contacts and sorts the messages into the Unknown Senders tab in the Messages list.

Go to Settings > Messages.
Turn on Filter Unknown Senders.

Note: You canʼt open any links in a message from an unknown sender until you add the sender to your contacts or reply to the message.

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.

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

Thanks for your feedback.
