"You can report iMessages that look like spam or junk from the Messages app. If you get an iMessage from someone who's not saved in your Contacts, you'll see a Report Junk link under the message. Tap the link to forward the sender's information and the message to Apple."
"If you don't have iOS 8.3 or later, you can send an email to imessage.spam@apple.com with this information:
- A screenshot of the message. Learn how to take a screenshot on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac.
- The email address or phone number that sent the iMessage.
- The date and time that you got the iMessage."
That's what I thought.. my brother and I both have iphone7 on latest iOS and neither have a report junk showing. Maybe a bug
Definitely
[doublepost=1479159049][/doublepost]Can anyone verify that this is working on their phone?
Today I received an iMessage from a pal, who had a new number. At that time I had the option to report the number as spam, but obviously didn't, because, well, the dude's a good friend.
Point being, the option was there for me as it should be.

This is a workaround? As far as I've seen it is a bug that hasn't been fixed. I don't want a workaround that changes settings and instead will wait for the bug fix for the bug fix
I don't think it's a workaround. It's been working for me since inception. Worked today

If you receive a spam text or iMessage in the Messages app from a number or email address that is not in your contacts list, you will see the option to Report as Junk at the very bottom. To report a message as spam:
- Tap on the blue Report as Junk link at the very bottom of the message.
- Tap Delete and Report Junk button in the pop up menu. I've highlighted the Report Junk portion of the button because the delete function didn't work in my testing.

Capt obvious here....
Works for me.
The dude asked if turning it on was a workaround. I pointed out it was not. Read.

I agree I think it is a bug. The 'report junk' should be showing from default
That's right, but I'm talking about numbers that aren't in my contacts. It should also be there for numbers that come through with a name - as if they were in ones contact list, but aren't
Hi, I got a message from a person I do not wish to contact. Her number is not saved and when I got her message I just clicked it as a “junk”.
Does it mean I will never be bothered by messages anymore? That all her messages are in nervana or do I have a junk folder now? And will she be also informed she is junk now or won’t she be aware of it and she will keep on messaging me? Thanks.
