I use Mezo SMS, comes with a wildcard blocklist for both numbers and content.

And to be honest, I use it exclusively to block shit. Haven't actually sent a text message in way over a decade. If it wasn't for two websites I have to use sending me one time passwords, I'd have uninstalled the SMS app altogether.

Sadly, its all I have for communicating with iPhone users. A few people in my family have installed Signal, and that's great, but my friends refuse to do so, and I don't blame them.

Oh right, I heard that especially in the US, iPhone users refuse to do anything but. I'm stuck with whatsapp since that's what almost everybody in Europe is using. Not much better considering it's a Meta company, but at least they have to adhere to our data privacy laws.
