Other How to block a group message?

[desertman]

I get sometimes spam messages on my iPhone (like probably everybody else) and usually block the sender immediately without answering - end of story.

However, today somebody sent a spam message to a group of phone numbers, including mine, and I'm not able to shut this conversation down (and to my astonishment most of the recipients of this message have nothing better to do but to answer to it). All of the phone numbers of this group message are not in my contacts. When I go into the details of the message there is no option to leave the conversation or to block the numbers.

Even adding all the phone numbers of this conversation manually to a special "Blocked" contact that I have and that is added to my blocked contacts does not help. The messages are still coming onto my iPhone - now being displayed as coming from my "Blocked" contact.

Is there a possibility to quiet down this conversation?

When you press the "i" in the circle in the top right hand corner, you should have a option that says "Leave this conversation" in red text under "Hide Alerts". You can put the chat on DND to ignore notifications and mute the convo.
Which iOS are you running?

It's not an iMessage conversation. He can hide notifications, but he can't leave the conversation.

Ahh, I just turn off notifications for spam. I do block numbers of spam for future reference.
