Welcome to Android Central! Which phone do you have? Which email service do you use? Gmail has a pretty good spam filter.

U mean message app?

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).

Samsung and 1+ devices work just as well

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.
