Side not ive been a android fan for well almost since the begining, i totally hated that iphones didnt have an external memory card slot.
To my suprise on my newest droid i had to get last year...bastardss were sneeky and got rid of the external memory card slot! I was livid.
Sorry rant over.

Re: SPAM........ AUGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
Chilly - I feel your pain via both phone and text. Email thankfully hasn’t been as bad yet.
For a while I was trying to keep up with blocking all the numbers, but it was so ridiculous I just gave up. It was a different number / bogus address every time anyway.
Also, +1 on still having a Hotmail account. (though not my primary anymore)
I’ve been told like 7 times via text this week my iCloud account has been suspended. Strangely, seems to keep working just fine…

Then tell them that YOU work for a charity collection call center and were just about to call THEM for a donation to your charity.
Speaking of call centers, I was on hold today for over an hour with Social Security, trying to change my mailing address because their website couldn't digest a PO Box as a mailing address
I finally got a women who had THE BIGGEST chip on her shoulder I had ever seen (figuratively) and no amount of being pleasant to her made a dent in her horrible attitude...

EXACTLY, feels like emptying the ocean with a teacup, and every day is a new address
I actually had TEN just this morning, all with different headers and addresses, but almost identical phishing content

No, sadly, despite reporting them as junk/phishing the constant new addresses seems to outsmart any spam sorting
I have been looking for an alternative email app to run it through that has more aggressive filtering but so many of those apps have their own hidden agendas and security issues
The SS lady was very obviously American and spoke English, but with such a heavy “regional” accent it was a challenge to understand her
