The entire premise of the spam-reporting feature seems misguided given the prevalence of number spoofing among scammers.

- closeparen 6y agoThis is iMessage. You have to prove you own a phone number to send iMessages from it.
- paranoidrobot 6y agoI wonder if the same flow applies to text messages, since as I understand it - they're all integrated. The thing I'm thinking of it: 1. Find the number of $AppleEmployee 2. Spoof a text message from $AppleEmployee to yourself. 3. Report that as spam. Would 3 even work, and if so - would it have any impact on that employee's Apple account.
- brongondwana 6y agoDon't even spoof - just text them a "hey Bob, really sorry to hear that your mother got cancer - please let me know if there's anything I can do to help the family - I'm in the area tomorrow". Chances of a "sorry, wrong number" response are fairly high. Report that as spam and it will have all the legit traffic flow on it.
- lozaning 6y agoI really hope their spam algorithm is able to take into consideration who messages first.
- brongondwana 6y agoOh ye of little^Wexcess faith.
- Siira 6y agoTelegram does at least.
