How to report a spam text

Reporting spam can help carriers and platforms identify abusive campaigns. Filtering can help you reduce the messages that reach your main inbox.

Use Report Junk when available

If your iPhone shows a Report Junk option under an unknown sender, use it to report the message.

Forward spam to 7726

Major US carriers support forwarding suspicious messages to 7726 (SPAM). Your carrier may ask for the sender’s number after you forward the message.

Filter future messages

Reporting is useful, but it does not always stop the next message. FingerWag helps filter recurring spam patterns privately on your iPhone.
