Apple is blocking 3rd party access to their own services. Google blocking access to messages delivered via an 3rd party isn't at all the same thing. And the optics of it would be incredibly bad for Google.

If I had this issue (I don't since I live in Europe where everyone uses Whatsapp) that's what I would do: I would download an app that blocks SMSes from selected (known) numbers and auto-responds to them with a message like "SMSes from this number are blocked by the receiver - Please contact me on Whatsapp/ Telegram/ Signal".
- meepmorp 3y agoSure, I guess. Seems like performative outrage, but at least it'd send a signal to people that they should stop talking to you entirely.
- throw310822 3y agoMore like "educating people to care". And if they don't, yes, there's no point in talking.
