Text spam is mostly phishing — the goal is to get you to click a link, call back, or share personal info.

Step-by-step

  1. Use your messaging app’s “Report spam” when available.
  2. Block the sender for repeat spam.
  3. Turn on filtering (many apps have a “Spam & blocked” section).
  4. Never tap unknown links and don’t reply to suspicious texts.
  5. Add an SMS spam blocker if you need stronger filtering controls.

Where Block Guard fits

  • SMS filtering options that help reduce spam and scams
  • Works alongside call protection for a complete setup
  • Whitelisting tools so important texts still get through
