. iPhone separates messages from non-contacts senders into a separate tab on the Messages app.
- On the Messages app, you’ll see new tabs at the top: Contacts & SMS and Unknown Senders . Messages going to the Unknown Senders tab will not show the message. [2] X Research Source
Advice
- Contact your carrier if you are being harassed. Harassment messages from unknown numbers will be blocked much more effectively if you contact your carrier as they have access to stronger blocking tools.
Warning
- Unfortunately, iOS does not allow us to block all messages except the accepted ones. You can only block specific contacts and phone numbers from texting you first.
- You cannot add numbers that are not in your contacts list or that have not yet contacted you to the blacklist.
