Stop my iPhone from receiving screen shots and other images sent via SMS?

I like to use SMS text messages and not iMessage, and only for text as indicated in the linked questions below.

Today I got a screenshot of a LINE message in an SMS text message and I certainly do not want to receive content in LINE messages as SMS text messages, nor any images at all.

Is there anything I can do to stop my iPhone from receiving screen shots and other images to me via SMS?


  • How can I ensure or force a message I'm composing to go via SMS on my iPhone 6 in iOS 12?
  • When does Messages message via iMessage vs. SMS?

Solution 1:

Try disabling "MMS Messaging" in your Settings app in the Messages settings.
