Quick - how do I block a phone number on an IPHONE when it's a porn telemarketing text msg?

I already deleted the msg once, but they sent another one. I don't know if the number is the same as the first, but this number is 339-309-3891. I don't want to open up the msg more than I already can see.

I add those numbers to my contacts under “assholes” and set their ring to silent. So if I get an inbound call from “assholes” I don’t bother.

The phone number does not show up in the "recent" section, which comes under the Phone icon.

at the top. It should be where a profile pic would go.

(the phone number is beneath it.)

Any how click on the circle and it will bring you to the page where you scroll down and hit block #

I went to the "i" and selected Do Not Disturb. And then I deleted the message a second time.

Thank you!
