iPhone SE 1st Gen-how do I delete texts?

[DP]

All of a sudden I'm getting a deluge of spam texts, but I can't see how to delete the text and block the number! No easy drop down that I can see...

Running the last iOS.

I click the header, then click info. Block is in there somewhere.

Then I just swipe left to delete.

I don't know if thats the best way. I wish there was a way to swipe to block AND delete.

K. Thx. My Galaxy S8 has a drop down in the upper right corner to do both. Click and done.

Crush the sucker under a road surfacer, it's past it's due date anyway. It's projection and what I'd do with the wife's iPhone 5 if she'd let me near it long enough.

RgrF - what? FYI the iPhone SE 1st generation can still run the latest iOS 14.x.

The iPhone 5 is obsolete, and can only run up to IOS 10.3.4 according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPhone
