How to stop bombitup messages
If you’re receiving a flood of unwanted messages from apps like BombitUP, you’re likely experiencing what’s known as SMS bombing. This is when someone uses a tool to send numerous messages to your phone in a short time, often as a prank. While it might seem harmless, it can be disruptive and annoying. Here’s how you can stop these messages:
Register for Do Not Disturb (DND)
In many countries, telecom providers offer a Do Not Disturb service to block promotional messages and calls. In Bangladesh, you can register for DND by contacting your mobile operator or visiting their website. This won’t stop all spam, but it can reduce unwanted messages.
Block and Report Spam Numbers
Most smartphones allow you to block specific numbers:
- On Android: Open the message, tap the three dots in the top-right corner, and select “Block” or “Report Spam.”
- On iPhone: Open the message, tap the sender’s name or number at the top, then tap “Info,” and select “Block this Caller.”
Blocking the numbers won’t stop all messages, especially if they’re coming from different numbers, but it can help reduce them.
Use Anti-Spam Apps
There are apps available that can help filter and block spam messages:
- Truecaller: Identifies and blocks spam calls and messages.
- Hiya: Provides caller ID and spam protection.
- SMS Blocker: Specifically designed to block unwanted SMS messages.
Install one of these apps from your device’s app store and follow the setup instructions.
Avoid Responding to Spam Messages
Responding to spam messages, even to ask them to stop, can confirm to the sender that your number is active. This might lead to more spam. It’s best to ignore and delete these messages without replying.
Enable Message Filtering
Some messaging apps allow you to filter messages from unknown senders:
- On iPhone: Go to Settings > Messages, then turn on “Filter Unknown Senders.”
- On Android: Settings may vary, but look for options like “Spam Protection” in your messaging app’s settings.
This won’t stop the messages but will separate them from your regular messages, making them less intrusive.
Use BombitUP’s Protection Feature
Ironically, the BombitUP app itself offers a feature to protect your number from being targeted:
- Download the BombitUP app from its official website.
- Open the app and look for an option like “Protect Your Number.”
- Enter your phone number to add it to their protection list.
This should prevent others from using BombitUP to send messages to your number.
Contact Your Mobile Service Provider
If the problem persists, contact your mobile service provider. They may have additional tools or services to help block spam messages or can provide further assistance.
Report to Authorities
If you feel harassed or threatened by these messages, consider reporting the issue to local authorities or cybercrime units. In Bangladesh, you can contact the Cyber Crime Investigation Division of the Dhaka Metropolitan Police.
Final Thoughts
Receiving a barrage of unwanted messages can be stressful, but by taking the steps above, you can reduce or eliminate them. Stay vigilant and proactive in protecting your personal information and privacy.
