2 Easy Hacks To Block iPhone Spam Texts & Calls, According To Experts—Scammers Hate #2

Spam is the bane of our iPhone-owning existence — and it seems like it’s happening more and more frequently. Every time we receive a phone call from a number we don’t know, which eight out of ten times we discover to be an automated robot, that’s a spam call we didn’t know how to block. Similarly, with texting, receiving strange texts from strange numbers with cryptic messages that can range from the simple “hi” to the long, drawn out lie about how you’ve been selected to participate in a contest where you can win millions of dollars — you’ve encountered yet more spam.
