User complains iOS political spam texts slip past filters, suggests Apple Intelligence fix
What happened
On October 27, Hacker News featured a complaint from a user who moved out of Texas about how iOS handles spam texts. The user says he has received several political campaign spam texts a day for about a month. He has long tapped "Delete and Report Junk" on each one in iOS, yet they still do not land in the Messages junk folder. He refuses to reply STOP, arguing that opting out this way accepts the sender's right to text first and make recipients opt out one by one. He suggests Apple use Apple Intelligence to have a large language model study the samples a user has reported and filter similar texts automatically. The report does not mention any Apple response or related feature change.

一位已搬离得州的用户近一个月每天收到多条政治竞选垃圾短信，尽管长期在 iOS 上逐条「删除并举报垃圾信息」，这些短信仍未进入 Messages 的垃圾文件夹。他拒绝回复 STOP，认为这等于默认对方有权先发再让自己逐条退出，并建议 Apple 用 Apple Intelligence 让 LLM 参考已举报样本自动过滤相似短信。
