What Happens to Junk Messages on an iPhone?

When junk messages are reported on iPhone, the sender’s information and the message are sent to Apple and the message is permanently deleted from your device. This helps protect your iPhone from malicious content and keeps your messages secure. Additionally, any future messages from the same sender will be automatically blocked and marked as spam.

Checking Junk SMS

To check your junk SMS, open the Messages app on your device, then tap the three-dot menu at the top right of the screen. From here, select Spam & Blocked and you will be able to view all of your junk SMS messages. You can also use this menu to block or unblock numbers, as well as report spam messages.

What Happens to Junk Messages on iMessage?

When you receive a junk iMessage, you can tap the “Report Junk” option to forward the message and sender information to Apple. This helps Apple improve its filtering system to better identify and block junk messages. After reporting the message, it will be deleted from your device and you won’t be able to undo this action. However, reporting a message does not block the sender from being able to send another message; if you don’t want to receive future messages from this contact, you’ll need to block them in your Messages settings.

How Long Do Junk Messages Remain in the System?

Messages in the Junk folder will remain there for up to 30 days before being automatically deleted. It is important to periodically check the Junk folder in case any messages were mistakenly marked as junk and needed to be retrieved.

To do this, open your Junk Email folder and select the messages you want to keep. Then, from the top toolbar, select Not junk > Not junk (or Not spam > Not spam). After this, open your Blocked sender’s list and unblock the sender by selecting their name. Finally, make sure to add them to your Safe sender’s list by selecting the option from the drop-down menu. Doing this should ensure that emails from them will no longer be sent to your Junk folder.
