I get them almost daily. The biggest one is USPS. Just Delete don’t open.

If you don’t know sender. Just block the number and delete
Never reply if you do it confirms that number is live

Why can't iMessage have an auto spam protection like on Google Messages?

[jaydenpudvah]

Let me guess they’re gonna release iOS 18.2.2

Hey Aaron, I think you could have told people about the function at around 03:14. Here under 'unknown messages' you can go in and ask to 'select messages' and have an option to delete straight away without having to go open each message and read it - and possibly accidentally click on the message. The beauty here is that if your iPhone doesn't recognised the number you can delete a whole list of them right off the bat - never even opening them.

Thanks for all your content.

This was different and I actually loved it cause nobody else’s in the tech world mentions this at all. Thanks man!! ❤

Thank you for keeping us informed and for the wallpapers! Sadly, my 84 y/o mom got scammed by this. Hard to explain to her the level of detail it takes to stay safe.

Thanks for sharing. Blessings on your day.

All these iOS 18 problems. I’m still on 17.7 and I’ll likely stay there

Someone already commented but JUST BLOCK AND DELETE & REPORT.

[jaexster]

I don’t click on any messages that I don’t recognize. I just delete it.

How do you get that orange weather app? Is that the normal Weather app or a third-party one?
