Federico Viticci over at MacStories posted an interesting story about iMessage spam tonight courtesy of Beau Giles. A support document on the Apple website now presents details on how users can report iMessage spam directly to the company:
- If you're seeing unwanted iMessages (spam) in Messages app, you can report those to Apple.
- To report unwanted iMessage messages to Apple, please send an email with the following details to: imessage.spam@icloud.com
- Include a screenshot of the message you have received.
- Include the full email address or phone number you received the unwanted message from.
Both my wife and I have received spam in the Messages app on rare occasions, and it's good to know that there's now a process in place for at least reporting the messages to Apple. The company does not say how they'll act on your reports --I'm personally hoping for sharks with lasers being sent to the homes of the spammers.
- Include the date and time that you received the message.
