As scammers and phishers find new ways to plague our smartphones with these texts, companies are starting to fight back. Take Apple, for instance: With iOS 26, your iPhone's Messages app is getting two key tools to help keep you from falling for scams—even if they can't block these texts completely.
But it goes beyond the lack of a notification. Any message that lands in the Spam folder is placed under restrictions that don't normally apply to texts in Messages. First, all links within spam messages are disabled. That goes for both URLs as well as phone numbers. This ensures that you can't accidentally open a malicious link or start a call to a scammer's number. You'd have to copy and paste the link or number to use it, which I believe a majority of people likely won't do.
These are simple changes, but powerful ones. They take the wind out of scammers' sails, by removing the interactivity from their phishing texts. Whether someone would have willfully or accidentally clicked a malicious link in a spam text, the risk plummets with this simple change in iOS 26.
What if a spam message really isn't spam?
Any messages in this folder, of course, cannot be replied to, which you would think would spell the end of communications between you and this person. (Sorry boss, I'd love to text you back, but my iPhone thinks you're spam, and iOS 26 doesn't let me reply to spam. See you on Monday.)
Just be careful when using this feature: You don't want to accidentally move spam messages back to your main inbox, and you definitely don't want to give scammers the advantage by marking actual spam as not spam.
