Can't block on messaging | samsung

[Aashu90]

I get a lot of spam messages from a lot of companies, 

And there is no option there by which i can block those messages in samsung messaging app.

There is an option to turn off the notifications only. But still, it always there disturbing in messages.

Go to messages app and click on three dot and then click on settings then click on 'block number and spam' and turn this on.

Even if u turn on the feature, that won't block the SmS received from registered 3rd party companies. Samsung members only allow us to block sms which comes from any number. But blocking sms from registered ids available in Google message services. Samsung still not provided that feature

Ohk

Register for DND with your network operator and use Google messages to block any SMS....

I registered full DND but still getting so many SMS and Calls. If I sent mail they simply replied that will take necessary action, but getting even more calls from the same series of numbers. Especially getting calls from L&T Financials. They have 1000+ numbers it seems. If we block one number again received calls from another number. I think Airtel selling numbers to these 3rd party looters.

Yes, Airtel selling numbers to 3rd party services. I stopped recharging Airtel DTH connection from last year December and till date I'm getting calls from random people for immediate recharging. Google messages/phone app is the only relief until Samsung fixes their app...
