You can block text messages from a specific number or contact on your Android device with a third-party solution. Just follow these steps.
Blocking Text Messages
Option 1
Note: These steps are for the stock āMessagingā app included with Android 5. Some carriers may include a different app for messaging.
Open āMessagingā.
Press the āMenuā Menu icon icon located at the upper-right corner.
Select āBlacklistā.
Set āBlacklistā to āOnā, then select the plus (+) to add a person to block.
Type the number you wsih to block. Check āBlock incoming callsā and/or āBlock incoming messagesā as desired, then select āOKā.
If you wish to remove a number from Blacklist, select the number, then choose āDeleteā.
Option 2
If your messaging app does not offer a Blacklist option, use Handcent.
Download and install Handcent SMS for your text messaging needs. Itās available in the Google Play store.
Since youāll be using Handcent for text messaging, disable the notifications for your current text messaging app. Otherwise, youāll get double notifications for text messages.
Open Handcent then select the āMenuā Android menu button icon at the upper left corner of the screen, then select the gear in the lower left corner of the screen.
Select āSecurity & privacyā > āManage blacklistā.
Tap the plus (+) icon to add the phone number you wish to block. You can choose one from your contacts, call logs, or input the number directly.
Now all of the text messages from that person will be blocked and not visible in the Handcent app. You wonāt get notifications youāve received a message from the person either. If you ever want to unblock the person, return to the āManage blacklistā screen, tap it, then select āUnblacklistā.
Some users have reported that the app āPrivate Spaceā works well for them.
Sending an Automatic Reply
If you want to let a person know they have been blocked, you will need to download and install SwiftReply. SwiftReply will allow you to setup an auto reply for specific Contacts.
Ensure the mobile number you wish to block is listed in your Contacts.
Open āSwiftReplyā and tap the plus icon (+) to make a new auto-reply.
Type the name you would like to use for the reply and the text you would like to send to the person.
Scroll down and select āEnable User Filterā > āContactsā.
Tap āAddā and choose the people in your Contacts list that you would like to receive the reply. Tap āDoneā when your list is complete.
Tap āSaveā, then tap āOffā to turn the auto-reply on.
The specified people will now receive your message automatically and Handcent will block them from your view.
