My friend has both a S8 and a toxic ex boyfriend, spamming messages and calls, but when she block his number, she still has his calls in the history, and his messages will pop a orange point on the option to see blocked messages.

Yes the correct thing to do would be to ignore them but don't argue with human psyche, can she make these disappear ?

Good day. I have activated my Android phone's function to block unknown and secret numbers, yet I still receive them from one spamming and bothersome individual who has proven to be mentally disturbed and unwilling to accept a polite but firm "no thanks." I have no idea why this person's messages (sent from an unknown number) manage to bypass the inbuilt filter and show up as messages from an unknown number that cannot be blocked.

I have installed the Truecaller app on standard settings (no premium), but lack insights into the finer finesse of this application.

Does anyone have recommendations for some kind of advanced settings to change in the Android phone or Truecaller? Or indeed recommendations for other apps that could prove useful in finally blocking out all messages from unknown numbers?

The phone is a Galaxy S20 5G. Thanks in advance.

I’m sure I’m not the only person getting political spam messages on their phone. At first it was only a few. Then I typed STOP on one of them and - kaboom! All of the sudden I’m getting three four five times as many. I now hit block and delete and they still keep coming from other numbers.

Is there any way to stop everything inbound? It unlikely I’d miss a customer text, because they can always call.

Please help!
