How to block all texts from bit.ly?
I have started to get text messages from bit.ly on my iPhone 6. It doesn't have a number—it just says "bit.ly".
I am confused that how can something which has no number is sending me text messages. I want to block it completely and totally. No one from bit.ly should ever be able to send me a text message.
How can it be blocked?
When I open the text message and click on bit.ly, I see the following options
- send my current location
- share my location
- do not disturb
How to block bit.ly from sending me text messages?
Solution 1:
To block this type of call:
Create a new contact called something like Non-Caller, No-Caller or Bit.ly
Enter 000-000-0000 for the phone number.
Scroll down and select Block this Caller
This should stop calls from calls that come from "zero" numbers.
I just remembered this tips to block No Caller calls -> https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6040239?tstart=0
Solution 2:
I read the Wired article but it is out of date.....here is what I just did (for iPhone users)...go to settings/messages....scroll down and turn on Filter Unknown Senders. It will turn off notifications from unknown senders and sort them into a different folder.
