To stop receiving text messages from someone, you can either block the contact directly on your phone or use your messaging app's settings to filter or block messages. On most smartphones, open the message, tap the contact's name or number, then choose the option to block. Alternatively, contact your carrier for assistance or use features like Do Not Disturb mode to silence notifications from unwanted numbers.
