## What is PhoneGuard+?

PhoneGuard+ is a call, text, and Wi-Fi safety utility built around native iPhone capabilities. It uses iOS Call Directory and Message Filter extensions to perform matching and classification within the system-supported scope. It does not access Contacts, use advertising or third-party analytics SDKs, or send received message content to a developer-operated server.

[NATIVE CALL BLOCKING]
• Provides separate blocking lists for reported scam, marketing, robocall, and international call categories
• Lets you add and manage a personal block list
• Uses iOS Call Directory extensions to process matching numbers during the system call flow
• Lets you enable or disable each list separately in iOS Settings

[ON-DEVICE TEXT FILTERING]
• Matches eligible unknown-sender SMS/MMS provided to the extension by iOS
• Supports sender and keyword rules for Always Allow, Junk, Promotion, and Transaction categories
• Uses bundled number data to help identify potentially unwanted sources
• Does not access Contacts, process iMessage, or upload received message content or saved filtering rules

[AI RULE BUILDER]
• Uses Apple’s on-device model to convert your description into a draft filtering rule when the model is available
• If the Apple model is unavailable, sends only the rule description you enter to Replicate over encrypted HTTPS
• Received messages, Contacts, saved rules, and device identifiers are not included in the Replicate request
• Drafts are shown for review and saved only after you approve them
• Manual rule creation remains available when the network or AI service is unavailable

[BASIC WI-FI SAFETY CHECK]
• Checks whether the device is connected through Wi-Fi
• With your permission, reads the Wi-Fi security type provided by iOS
• Tests whether an HTTPS connection to Apple’s public connectivity service remains encrypted and passes system certificate validation
• Does not read or store coordinates, the Wi-Fi network name, or the router identifier

[PRIVACY FIRST]
• No developer account, ads, cross-app tracking, or third-party analytics SDKs
• Received message content is never sent to Replicate
• Filtering rules and personal block lists stay on the device by default
• Optional personal call-block-list sync uses your own iCloud private database and can be disabled or deleted in Settings
• Purchases and Restore Purchases are handled by Apple; PhoneGuard+ does not receive card or payment-account details

[IMPORTANT LIMITATIONS]
• Call blocking and text filtering must be enabled in iOS Settings
• Text filtering applies only to eligible unknown-sender SMS/MMS provided to the extension; it does not apply to iMessage or known Contacts
• The Wi-Fi check reports limited signals observable by the iPhone. It is not a complete network audit and cannot guarantee that a network is safe
• Phone numbers can be spoofed or reassigned, and rules may produce false positives; review your Junk, Allow, and blocking settings regularly
