SMS Spam Handler iPhone Shortcut with install instructions
This shortcut runs when you get a text message containing the word “stop”.
It checks if the sender is in your contacts and if not it looks for another keyword like “end” “unsubscribe” and then checks the rest of the message against a political wordlist. (SpamMatch.txt, which is written by the setup shortcut below. It’s newline separated and supports regex, customize away and let me know what works for you).
I should note that you’ll probably find your favorite candidate in that wordlist.
If it’s spam, it sends back “stop”, reports the sender to 7726 (spam), and adds them to a contact (setup shortcut below) that identifies all your spammers and lets you just swipe to block them.
Sorry, you will have to build a bit of the automation yourself. We can’t share or back up the “Automation” that kicks it off.

Setup shortcut (install and run this; it will write a file then prompt with a contact to create; if you change what the contact is named, you will need to edit a single line in the main shortcut):

I cannot adequately express to you the disappointment and betrayal I feel as an immune compromised/suppressed person living in a pandemic that the people around me dismiss as something in the past.
When you don’t wear masks, don’t keep masks on hand, don’t get vaccinated…
Whether you’re a family member, a friend, an acquaintance posting unmasked selfies with strangers at an indoor event… or a doctor who should really know better.
That tells me a lot.

Wow, long day for neighbor who drives a work van that makes backup beeps.
Ted was snoozing with his back against a trash can and as he stretched, he pressed on the foot pedal, opening the lid…
And then he was snoozing in the dark next to my bed and almost killed me. That was less cute. 🤣
