Block & Report Scam Texts Using Android/Google

​

​

Open Google Messages and tap on the three-dot menu in the upper right.

From the menu that drops down, select Settings.

In the Settings menu, tap on Block numbers and spam.

You will be given a choice between blocking a number or a message. Tap on Block numbers.

We have arrived at your blocked number list. Here you can see what numbers you have already blocked (with the option to unblock them by tapping the red minus sign to the right of each number) or add to your blocked numbers list. Type in the offending number in the field at the top of the screen using the keypad at the bottom of the screen.

When you have entered the number, tap on the green plus sign to the right of the number you entered. You have now added the number to your blocked list. The number’s owner can no longer send you texts from that number.

Android also provides a shortcut to block numbers that are not saved to your contacts list. You’ll find it at the top of each text from an unsaved number.
