How To Block Spam Messages

A brand text me everyday.

How can I block it?

In the phone number area only brand name is visible. (Phone number is not visible.)

Tap the profile picture -- do you get an option to block there?

Profile Picture is unclickable.

(Although Normally a profile is clickable.)

One option is Google message app has option to report as spam

What about long-pressing the message thread in the main message thread list?

Then It selects the message. There is only option after selecting it which is "delete".

It looks like It's not possible without a 3rd party app.

Open one of those spam message thread and show us a screenshot. Do you get any options if you tap the Menu button when you're in the message thread?

Spam notifications.

I am getting messages with the following address as notifications on my S8. How do I stop them?

@AHCpP@D That link you posted looks like a popup from some app or website. What app were you using when you saw that appear?

Do you mean that you're getting text messages from an email address instead of a phone number? Who's your carrier?

Google messages is pretty good with spam emails or spam numbers it ask me what action I like to do block as spam or if you know it then don't block.
