Summary
- Google Messages is rolling out an Unsubscribe button to combat spam.
- Pressing the button sends a ‘STOP’ message from the user to the sender, blocking non-essential texts.
- The Unsubscribe button is available for RCS for business messages and texts from short codes.
I use an app called SpamBlocker from fdroid. It supports regex filters and blocking non-contacts and is super comprehensive in this regard.
I’ve been using Blacklist for probably 10 years, recently switched to SpamBlocker. Wow, what a complex and flexible app.
I get no messages or calls I don’t want.
Same. It stopped most of my spam.
I’ll check it out, thank you. Sounds simpler than changing my number after 20 years.
