How do I automatically block suspected spam?

[ragingrichard]

Hello, 

In the last few weeks or so I've been receiving multiple spam messages (Google messages) on my Pixel 7 Pro. I've been reporting them as spam but more come back every day (using different numbers). These messages are in the form of group chats. 

They are being flagged as suspected spam (red warning icon). How do I automatically block suspected spam?

Note: Enable spam protection is on. 

Thanks in advance

Hi @ragingrichard 

Welcome to our community.

Some Pixels have a 'filter spam calls' option. It should be in the same place you turned on spam protection in the call app, then more options, settings, caller ID and Spam. If that isn't showing as an option, there isn't anything we can activate on your account to block them as it is a phone feature rather than a network one.
