   iOS won’t highlight links in messages from unknown senders — which is really safe and smart.

   That’s why spam like this now asks you to reply with “Y” for no reason — the second you type something and hit enter, iOS will then highlight the link since you replied and engaged with the sender. And I guess maybe you'll click it then? 🥴
