Do You Know How to Block Spam on an Android Phone?

Spam is everywhere. These annoying texts from spammers or unknown numbers can fill up your inbox with spam emails containing suspicious links. Spam is inevitable, even if you have an advanced smartphone. It’s annoying to delete unwanted or unsolicited texts to clear your inbox, but there are ways to stop spam for good.

So how to prevent spam in a simple way? The following will reveal it to you.

If you see a suspicious message, please do not reply. Replying to a spam email confirms that the number is indeed a real mobile phone number, which the spammer can use to send more spam texts in the future. Let’s see how to stop these spam emails from reaching your phone number.

1.Open the Google Messages app and click the three dots in the upper right corner.

2.Next, click Settings, then click the “Spam Protection” option.

3.Click the Enable Spam Protection button to turn it on.

Say a particular number is bothering you with suspicious texts – you can add that number to a blacklist or blocklist. This method is also the best way to stop spam on phones that don’t run on stock Android and don’t come with Google Messages pre-installed. Here’s how to block spam from specific numbers.

1.Open the Google Messages app and copy the number you want to block.

2.Go to the app’s main menu and tap the three dots in the upper right corner.

3.Click the “Spam and Blocking” button, then press the three dots button.

4.Tap on Blocked Contacts and find the “Add Number” option.

5.Paste the number you copied earlier here and click the “Block” button.

In most cases, spam will include a link in the message. Do not open or copy this link as it may put your phone and details at risk. You can also report spammers to prevent them from sending you further spam.

1. Open Junk, then tap and hold the text.
2. Click on the three dots option in the upper right corner, then click on the “Block” button.
3. You will see a “Block and report spam” popup, then click the “Report as spam” box and click the OK button.

Users who don’t have Google Mail installed can report spammers by forwarding spam text messages or copying the number and emailing 7762, which is available for AT&T, Verizon Wireless and T-Mobile carriers.

That’s it! This might not completely stop scam emails from coming in, but it will stop filling your inbox with spam.
