How do I stop unwanted MMS Messages?

Answered by Tom Adger

To stop unwanted MMS messages on your Android phone, you can follow these steps:

1. Open your messaging app: Launch the messaging app on your phone, which is usually pre-installed or can be downloaded from the Google Play Store.

2. Identify the unwanted MMS message: Scroll through your message list and find the MMS message you want to block. It might be from an unknown number or a contact you no longer wish to receive messages from.

3. Tap on the message: Once you’ve located the unwanted MMS message, tap on it to open the conversation thread.

4. Access message options: Look for the three-dot icon located in the top-right corner of the screen. This icon usually represents additional options and settings within the messaging app.

5. Block the number/contact: Tap on the three-dot icon, and a menu will appear with various options. Look for an option called “Block number” or “Block contact.” The wording may vary depending on the messaging app you are using.

6. Confirm the block: After selecting the “Block number” option, you’ll likely be prompted to confirm your action. This is to ensure that you want to block all future MMS messages from the specific number or contact. Confirm your choice by tapping “OK” or a similar confirmation button.

By following these steps, you should successfully block unwanted MMS messages on your Android phone. The blocked number/contact will no longer be able to send you MMS messages, and their messages will not appear in your messaging app.

It’s important to note that blocking a number/contact may vary slightly depending on the messaging app you are using. Some apps may have additional features or options for blocking, so it’s worth exploring the settings within your particular messaging app.

Additionally, if you continue to receive unwanted MMS messages even after blocking a number/contact, you might consider reporting the issue to your mobile service provider. They may be able to provide further assistance or offer solutions to help prevent unwanted messages.
