So, here's how to set it up: Open Settings on your iPhone. Tap Messages. Turn on the feature under “Message Filtering” called “Filter Unknown Senders.”

When you enable the feature “Filter Unknown Senders.”, you will no longer receive promotional messages.
I’m glad I was able to get that sorted out for you. Is there anything else I can assist you with today?

Customer Replay

In most cases, yes.
There are rare messages that can bypass this protection
And you'll need to delete them manually
