Samsung Messages

[emeles]

Getting really frustrated with regular spam (especially a badly worded one claiming to be from EE, and I mean bad.....)

I used to be able to block and report spam but now I can only block and delete!

I can't forward the message (or any messages for that matter) to spam report service.

What's going wrong?

Tried to switch to Google messenger but that won't open with any functions?

Any ideas please 🙏

@jj369: If you are receiving SMS messages about your phone's security status, then these are not likely to be genuine, as you should generally receive alerts such as this as a system notification. 

If you're using the Samsung Messages app, then you can block messages by tapping the 3 dots in the top right of the landing screen > Settings > Block numbers and messages > Block numbers > Conversations, and following the on-screen prompts.

I have your problem also - I used to be able (until recently), to Report as Scam Spam or Fraud etc then Block number and Delete. Something has changed and unfortunately none of the answers below, whilst helpful  address this. October 2024 and S22Ultra Updated 6.1.1
