Yeah, and that's exactly why I've never received spam through iMessage even once over many years (despite being active in a bunch of group chats and 1:1 conversations).
All while I receive whatsapp/telegram message spam on a fairly regular basis, despite not being active in any groups or channels on those apps (and in general, opening them maybe once or twice a week at most). The only reason I even use those 2 apps is to talk to select few old relatives of mine who are not very tech literate and who just happened to learn how to use those apps +a couple of friends who simply insist on using those apps.
- colinmhayes 4y agoI have the opposite experience for what it's worth.
- filoleg 4y agoTo make sure I understand it correctly, you actually receive imessage spam, not sms spam? Because regular sms spam (green bubbles) could still arrive.
- colinmhayes 4y agoOh yea it’s normal, but so what? Still sends me a notification
- thirdsun 4y agoThen your point doesn't apply to iMessage. You receive SMS spam, not iMessage spam.
- colinmhayes 4y agoBut iMessage has done nothing to lower the amount of spam I receive so I don't see any benefit.
