Block and Report Spam messages on Xiaomi Smartphones

Spam messages don’t need any more introduction because this is currently wreaking havoc in the Philippines. Even before the pandemic, we were already receiving messages but when the pandemic started, Spam messages skyrocketed in the country causing anxiety and problems to people, especially to those who got hacked or fooled by it.

Now, if you’re a Xiaomi smartphone user, there’s an Automatic Spam Protection that automatically detects spam messages and moves it to “Spam and blocked” folder in the Messages app. But there are still some messages that don’t get detected, so here are the steps on how to Block and Report Spam messages manually.
