Windows 10: Your phone companion and spam and fraud texts

My phone, a Google Pixel 3A blocks spam and fraudulent texts which is a nice feature. When I link my phone companion up to my Pixel the spam and fraudulent texts show up again. Could there please be a way to block the same spam and fraudulent texts on my phone companion that my Pixel 3A blocks?

Your Phone Companion is working but often weird

Just more and more "historical" messages. Now, messages I write on the input panel on the right appear in the list on the left but the message I wrote doesn't appear on the right side panel, just more historical messages.

At least the thing seems to work. Sort of two steps forward and three to the left and back.

I wish someone who was a real coder would write a decent app like this, one that was, uh, tested and didn't have an idiotic name like "Your Phone Companion". SIGH.

 

Spam Texts showing up on Your Phone app

My phone filters any spam text messages to a blocked folder. It didn't used to do this, but now when I use the Your Phone app, all of those blocked texts show back up on my Messages list on my computer. I've used this app for a year and the spam texts
never showed up until recently. Is there a setting somehow so I can get rid of them on the app? I went and deleted all of the blocked texts from my phone, but since this never was a problem before I'm hoping there's a simple setting change that I can make
that will make sure this doesn't happen in the future.
