How to stop spam messages (effective methods and skills)

Spam message is a big problem in modern communication era. Receiving a large number of spam messages every day is not only a waste of time, but also may involve personal privacy and safety. In order to solve this problem, we need to take some effective methods and skills to stop the harassment of spam messages.

1. Update the mobile phone operating system and applications.

The first step is to ensure that your mobile phone operating system and applications are up to date. Updating the operating system and applications can provide better security and privacy protection. Many mobile phone manufacturers and application developers regularly release security updates to fix known vulnerabilities and problems.

2. Set the SMS filter

Most mobile phones have built-in SMS filtering function, which can help you filter and block spam messages. You can set filters based on keywords, sender numbers, or other rules to block spam. Please consult the user manual of your mobile phone or look for SMS filtering options in the settings menu.

3. Don't reply to spam messages

Replying to spam messages will only let the harasser know that your number is valid and may attract more spam messages. No matter what the content of spam messages is, don't reply. The best way is to delete spam messages directly or mark them as spam messages.

4. Don't disclose your mobile phone number.

Avoid revealing your mobile phone number in public places or on the Internet to reduce the harassment of spam messages. Spam SMS senders usually send spam messages by purchasing or obtaining a database of mobile phone numbers. Protecting your mobile phone number is as important as protecting your privacy.

5. Don't fill in your mobile phone number at will.

When filling out a form or registering an account, only provide the necessary information, and avoid filling in the mobile phone number at will. Some unscrupulous merchants or websites may abuse your personal information, including your mobile phone number, which may lead to spam messages.

Join the blacklist

If you receive spam messages that are frequently harassed, you can add the sender number to the blacklist of your mobile phone. The blacklist function can prevent the blacklisted numbers from sending you text messages or making phone calls. You can find the blacklist option in the mobile phone settings to add harassing numbers to the blacklist.

7. Use third-party applications

In addition to the SMS filter that comes with your phone, there are many third-party applications that can help you stop spam messages. These applications usually have more powerful filtering functions and more flexible setting options. You can search and download a trusted SMS filtering application in the App Store, and then set it according to the instructions of the application.

final result

By taking the above measures, the harassment of spam messages can be effectively prevented. Please remember that it is everyone's responsibility to protect personal privacy and safety, and we should actively take measures to avoid the harassment of spam messages. If you still receive spam messages, please report to the relevant operators or local communication management agencies in time so that they can take further action.
