Reporting a Text Message on an iPhone

This is a tutorial on reporting text messages received on an iPhone that you suspect may be spam, a phishing attempt, or some other violation or criminal activity.

• You can also set up “Filter messages from unknown senders.”
• You can also choose to report the message as fraud to the FTC (Federal Trade Commission)

If something is particularly concerning please contact the Highline College ITS Help Desk. We can take steps to help prevent others from falling for phishing attacks.

• Please note:  Anytime you report a contact, email, etc., the other person will not be told who reported them.
• Please note:  Your screen may look different due to the specific device you are on, and your settings.
