Hi @Bex_anastasia The inbuilt Hiya app can block Spam calls and I believe Messages too. In phone Go to Settings-Caller ID and Spam Protection, tap on that. Ensure Block Spam and scam calls. There is option to block all calls or only high Risk. See more in this article which also mentions 3rd party apps. https://www.makeuseof.com/how-to-block-texts-on-samsung-galaxy/

The native Samsung sms app has no way to stop spam text messages. The only option given is to mark the phone as spam. But this is useless because the the spam senders allways hide the number and camouflage it with a fake company name etc.
The same goes for Samsung mail app. You can only block spam when you know the sender address, but scammers allways constanly changes their address using temporary email addresses.
These issues are the main reasons most people will use a third party sms and email app. There are lots of alternatives and most of them are better for handling spam.
