When you receive a text message on your iPhone, it is either automatically filtered as a regular message or as junk depending on your device settings. If by any chance, an important text is flagged as junk, you can take steps to unjunk it.
To unjunk a text message on an iPhone, follow the steps below:
1. Open the "Messages" app on your device
2. Locate the "Junk" folder in the list of conversations. You may need to tap "Edit" to make sure the junk folder is visible.

What happens if you accidentally report a text as junk?
If you accidentally report a text as junk, the specific message will be moved to the Junk folder, which is usually a designated folder for all unsolicited and potentially harmful messages. In general, reporting messages as junk helps to identify and prevent the delivery of spam or phishing messages to your device. However, if you accidentally mark a message as junk, you can usually find it in the Junk folder and move it back to your inbox by unmarking it as spam. It’s important to be careful when marking messages as junk to avoid unintentionally missing important messages or mistakenly marking legitimate messages as spam.

What happens when you mark a text as junk on iPhone?
When you mark a text as junk on an iPhone, the Messages app moves the message to the Junk tab in the app. This action also helps the iPhone’s built-in spam filter to identify future spam messages from the same sender. Additionally, the spam filter also checks messages received from unknown senders and those not in your contact list. If such a message contains certain characteristics, it may automatically get marked as Junk and moved to the Junk tab. You can review the junk messages from time to time to ensure that the filter is working correctly, and also manually mark messages that were mistakenly classified as junk.

Can u retrieve deleted text messages?
As a technical blogger, I can say that retrieving deleted text messages can be a bit of a challenge. While some devices may have the option to recover deleted messages from a built-in backup system, there is no guarantee that all messages will be recovered. Additionally, retrieving deleted messages may require the assistance of a professional data recovery service or software that has the capability to extract deleted messages from a device’s storage. It is important to note that attempting to recover deleted messages can also potentially overwrite other data on the device, so it should be done with caution. It is always recommended to regularly backup important data to prevent loss in the first place.
