You can block text messages on your iPhone from any number that you don't want sending you messages. Blocked numbers will still be able to text you on their end, but you won't receive their messages or calls. Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories.

On an Android phone, open the text and tap the three-dot icon in the upper right. The steps then vary based on your phone and OS version. Either select the Block number option, or select Details and then tap Block & report spam.
