    I want to troll these spammers so badly but I’m terrified that if I reply I’ll validate my number being real which would probably result in more spam

      More spam is coming anyways.

      I was completely shocked when I migrated to an iPhone 16 that I had a ton of unread spam texts. Android had been filtering them and I wasn’t even aware it was happening. Apparently iOS has no such feature. The best you can do is block numbers that aren’t in your contact list, which obviously isn’t a solution if you have any sort of life at all. But what I’m getting at is that if you switch to Android then you won’t even see any spam texts. I dumped the iPhone after a week and went back to my Pixel.
