Apple still struggles with spam on iMessage in China, seeks help from carriers

On their own end Apple is employing advanced machine learning algorithms that will help detect spam messages. Additionally, there are also new ways for users to block numbers that send out malicious texts.
Apple isn't the only company that has trouble with phone spammers. The Chinese government has an ongoing battle against spam and even has a dedicated organization called "China Anti-spam Alliance". The aggressive marketing practice is a major problem in the country where competition between companies is fierce and they are using any opportunity to get more customers.
Will the combined efforts of Apple, carriers and government give results? We're sure they'll let us know if they succeed.
