How to Check Your Spam SMS Folder on iPhone & Android

Here are the step-by-step instructions for checking your filtered or spam SMS folder, depending on your device's operating system:

iPhone (Using the Messages App)

On an iPhone, unwanted messages are typically filtered into an "Unknown Senders" or "Spam" folder, provided the filtering feature is active.

  1. Open the Messages App.
  2. Look for "Filters" at the top left of the main conversation list and tap it. (You may need to tap the back arrow to get to the main view.)
  3. Select Unknown Senders.

Android (Google Messages or Samsung Messages)

The location depends on which text messaging app your Android phone uses (Google Messages is common; Samsung Messages is standard on Samsung Galaxy phones).

If you use Google Messages:

  1. Open the Google Messages App.
  2. Tap on your Profile icon (or the three-dot More options menu) in the top right corner.
  3. Select Spam & blocked.

If you use Samsung Messages:

  1. Open the Samsung Messages App.
  2. Tap the three-dot More options menu in the top right corner.
  3. Navigate to: Settings > Block numbers and spam > Blocked messages.
