There is this: Block, filter, and report messages on iPhone - Apple Support


Spammers and scammers like to change the numbers they call from to get around blocks, so blocking their spam and scam messages can be like playing "Whack a Mole."


One option is to "Filter Unknown Senders", so messages from unknown senders go to a special folder – and your phone does not notify you of them. But then if someone who has legitimate business with you, but is not on your regular Contacts list, sends you a message, you might overlook it.
