How do I block texts from a specific number?

[SpiritSword]

Someone I know won't stop texting me and I don't know how to block them. Everywhere I look says to use the spam filter, but that's not showing up, and I don't want to download an app to use in place of the default one. If anyone knows how to block a text with the S6 I would very much appreciate it.

It doesn't show the spam option when holding down on the text thread?

It isn't an option on my S6 either

On my ATT S6, when I have the message open, I select More on the top right corner and there is an option to add the number to the spam list.

Holding down on the thread gives me two options : delete or save.
Selecting "more" when the messages are open gives me the options:
Delete
View contact
Album
Add recipient
Quick response
Schedule messages
Lock messages
Priority level
Message options

If it is someone in your contact list/address book, there should be an option in the contacts to block them.

It only blocks phone calls, unfortunately.

Normally I go to More > Add to Spam Numbers.

After that you can choose to delete the message.



Hope this helps.
