Method 1: Block text messages on Android using the Messaging app
If your Android device is running KitKat 4.4 and above, you can block SMS built from the default Messaging app. If you don’t need extra spam protection options, this is the easiest way to keep unwanted texts away.Simply head over to the native Messaging app and select the text message of the sender you wish to block. Depending on your Android device model and version, you will be able to see different options when you press and hold a particular message.Find the option “Add to Spam” or “Block” to stop receiving SMS from that particular sender. You can use this same method to block text messages on Android from any other sender.Method 2: Use a third-party app to block text messages on Android
If you aren’t trying to block just a single SMS sender and need to clear out all the spammers, an SMS blocking app is the best option.
