This is one of the best iOS 16 features. The amount of spam/scam messages I receive have gone down a lot.

I switched to iPhone in June (so, iOS 15) after being on Android for over a decade and while I'm glad I did, the amount of spam calls and spam texts I got on my iPhone was absolutely insane. Google has been vastly superior in gating spam for years. It does seem like my iPhone has gotten better at it, though.
EDIT: oooooor downvote me. Yay Reddit.
You aren’t allowed to say bad things about Apple in any Apple subs—even if it’s true, actually especially if it’s true.
Edit: proof is in the downvotes. You can’t even talk about talking bad about Apple.
Sorry dog :(
Dude got 1 downvote, and now he thinks he’s being persecuted by the whole world lmao.
Clearly you didn’t see how many downvotes I had before the edit. I don’t feel persecuted at all, just calling it like I see it.
Very similar experience coming from a Pixel in September. Some spam texts were starting to get through googles filters earlier this year (all male enhancement spam texts). But before that it was perfect.
I've been using the report junk feature on iOS and have had a pretty similar experience, it has slowly cut down on the amount of spam texts. Definitely a lot better than when I got the phone. For spam calls, T-mobile offers an app called Scam Shield that will block known spammers and send other annoying calls to voice mail automatically. I think other carriers offer similar apps if your not on T-mobile, highly recommend looking into them.
