Usually I get the option to block numbers when I delete texts, but that isn't coming up. I've been getting what looks like some kind of porn spam from different numbers several times a day. I've tried selecting the messages and clicking the ..., but there is no option to block there either. I have no idea how the spammers got my number or why they keep texting me. It's getting old.

Does this work the same if the spam is some kind of weird group text?

I'm bumping this once more, because the latest spam is apparently some kind of weird group text. It looks like an ad, but then occasionally one will pop up like somebody was replying to the ad (often with anger). I haven't opened it, I surely don't know these people, and I have no idea why I'm getting garbage like this. It's actually kind of creepy.

Just the stock Android Messages app. I'm on AT&T and I've thought about getting their spam blocking service, but I'm not sure it would stop these group texts.

that's weird b/c i use "Messages" as well and it's been working for me. try clicking on the message itself then going to options (3 dots) -> Details -> Block & Report Spam ?
