He discusses prevention, opting out of legitimate texts, how to block and report contacts, and how to turn off notifications. Spam texts are becoming more and more problematic, but they don't have to take over your life. There are several options and settings that you can learn that will help prevent future messages, protect your time, and put you back in the driver's seat of your text messages! Dylan Stewart a.k.a.
