Android Central Question

I get a lot of spam call and text and I can't block them why?

U mean message app?

Messages app as well, although I'm not sure how compatible Google Messages is with all phones. I know you can use it on Samsung phones, but what about other manufacturers?

EDIT: Oops, I was initially thinking the OP was asking about spam calls and emails. Just re-read it and saw they asked about calls and texts. So yes, you'd need to try Google Messages (or just get a Pixel, which does a great job filtering out spam calls and texts).

The pixel fix is what I always suggest ;) Unfortunately I don't believe the Google phone app in the play store gives you the call screening features, that's a pixel only perk.
