previous to the latest update, there was a option to block text messages starting with DM,IX etc. these text messages were usually from bulk sms senders. we could block it by selecting the message to be blocked by pressing delete and the option pops up asking to block or simplu delete the unwanted message.. this option os not in the recent update. 79c28aac-da25-4a05-87b6-e4d3995c684e.jpg

I get error when I tap on any such message from inbox while blocking it, - 'Their phone number isn't valid'.

This is highly required feature because bulk advertisement sms is such a pain.

Any solution for

"Their phone number isn't valid"

I need to block advertising sms that has masked number.

It was there in an old update.
