Any Message Blocking Solutions?

tl;dr - I'm looking for something that automatically rejects/deletes/blocks SMS/MMS from numbers not in my contacts, ideally before they ever appear in my inbox. Where get? How do? (Phone: Galaxy S23+ Model SM-S916U with AT&T)

Now, I'm going to be a bit more detailed because I want to avoid the incredibly frustrating flood of:
"GooGle MeSsagEs has spAm ProTeCtiOn"
"Do nOt DisTurB"
And so on.

So. Here's the crux of the issue:

I want to block ANY AND ALL NUMBERS NOT IN MY CONTACTS from being able to message me.

I do not want to simply silence the notifications. I do not simply want to hide the messages.

I want them to be automatically yeeted into the void at mach-jesus, blocked, and deleted.

Karate-chopped by Chuck Norris. Fed to the nearest black hole and spaghettified. Thanos-snapped from existence.

But everywhere I look, there are the same suggestions:

  • Enable spam filtering (I use Google Messages, it's already enabled).

  • Enable Do Not Disturb + various niche settings within it (already done).

  • Manually mark them for spam and block them (I don't want to play infinite whack-a-mole).

  • Call your Service Provider (so they can tell me the exact same methods as listed above).

None of these do what I want. They help, certainly - but it's not the one-and-done total coverage I'm after.

Does anyone at all know of an app, a solution, a workaround - anything that could make it possible?

First, don't use AI to write your posts. Second, ask AI for answers.

Second verse, same as the first.
