Method 1: Block a Number

2. Find the message from the sender you’re trying to block. Navigate to the message thread that has the sender’s phone number or contact information.

3. Tap and Hold the message. Tap and hold the message from the sender until the “Message options” menu appears.

4. Tap “Add to spam numbers.” Select the “Add to spam numbers” option from the menu to block the number.

5. Confirm the block. A prompt will appear to confirm that you want to add the sender’s number to spam. If you wish to do so, tap “OK.” If you want to cancel, tap “Cancel.”

Method 2: Block a Contact

1. Open the Contacts app. Head over to the Contacts app to access your list of saved contacts.

2. Find the Contact to be blocked. Navigate to the contact you want to block.
