Windows 10: Is this spam/scam or Microsoft

Phone link app shows txt messages that have been flagged as scam or spam. ref 1053859562

in the latest version of the Phonelink app on Windows v1.23032.196.0 (Phone Link 1.23032.196.0 on Android) - (at the time of posting these appear to be the latest versions)
messages that are marked by my phone as scams or spam, and get hidden away on the phone messages app, don't get hidden on the phone link app in Windows, so the list of text messages has scam/spam messages interspersed amongst normal messages, making it frustrating to use.

could the phone link app please be updated to support the hiding of messages that phones have automatically flagged as scams or spam?
