Spam on iPhone

i have found a wet cloth gets rid of spam on a phone

I suspect it might be more to do with your email provider rather than the iPhone, Ian. 

I get mail from three different email accounts, including Cloud, on my iPhone and don't get spam. Apple's Cloud mail filters spam as do the others. Have you looked at the settings in your account on the provider's webmail site (not the phone settings) to see if there is something you can tweak?

Failing that, try some chips with it.

My i-cloud account doesn't get any spam. It's our TalkTalk account that gets it all and passes it on to the phone (Even after moving it to 'Junk' on the pc. I've looked on various forums and there's no way to stop it. Big fault with Apple.

I suppose the only answer is to get a Mac.......if only!

As others I hardly get any spam on iphone but do on Windows 10. I think it is down to your isp and it should be possible to set your filters to reduce it.

I think you should be looking at Talk Talk, Ian. I guess it's a problem with their server not blocking spam. They're not known for being the most secure.

My mail comes from Cloud, BT and Hotmail. The latter is the most troublesome but, even so, I don't get spam. 

Sorry, I don't know enough to say any more.

From the i newspaper business section today. Spam texts, a legit company will let you text STOP. If it's not legit forward the message for free 7726 (spells spam) to your provider. If enough people do this the number will be investigated and blocked. See the i on line page 56 for more info and possibly other web sites about how to stop spam on a mobile too. 

Like others I hardly get any spam on my mobile. 

Ian's problem is with email rather than texts, Brue, and specifically concerns iPhone. Does the article throw any light on that?

It's a general article. No doubt the answer will be out on the web somewhere. Maybe look for a demo on youtube too.

Thankfully, I'm OK.

We just stick to one mail provider BT which we access either on our Windows PC or on our iPhones / pads, so it makes no difference to the amount of spam we get. Having said that BT mail is poor at filtering it out, although we don't get a lot. It was a lot better when BT used Yahoo Mail, rather than their own system.
