Amazing sms filter
I was being bombarded with weird text messages from unknown numbers every day basically. I’m very surprised this app doesn’t have a lot more reviews than this. Easy to use and fixed my issues. And the app is free! Give the devs a cup of coffee at least!!
Wonderful app!
This does exactly what I was looking for and is so easy to set up! I appreciate that everything is done on device.
Used to work great
Used to work great but recently it’s been letting texts through that I have filtered. Specifically blocked texts and blocked languages.
Doesn’t disappoint
Can’t complain works like a charm and it’s free, absolute banger of an app.
great
free and amazing
Works great
The filter app works great for common cases like filtering a message containing a link. Kudos for open sourcing the code.
PERSONAL & BANK INFO AT RISK! DO NOT DOWNLOAD!!!
Huge cyber safety risk here. New developer and this is their only app. Also developer is outside of US and a google search shows from Israel with minimum info/history.
I downloaded this app and was about to allow access but it states that “The developer of "SimplyFilterSMS" will receive the text, attachments, and sender information in text messages from senders not in your Contacts.
Messages may include personal or sensitive information like bank verification codes.”
On the app download page it shows data not collected which I find the developer purposely did to be misleading because if you read about those terms the developer doesn’t have to mark that they do if user gives access in the way they have the app setup
Please don’t download this app! And if you have delete immediately!
The developer dan get every message you get from unknown numbers. Think of how many times a bank or other app sends y a text code for safety. They can easily get that since your email is also used given to them when downloaded app.
Basically you risk giving up access to every account online that you have to someone out of the county.

The best SMS message filtering app to use with iOS 26
I have happily been using simply filter SMS for several years. It has an incredible amount of configurability for blocking or allowing text messages.
However, I wanted to write a new review because with iOS 26 filtering simply filter sms becomes much more powerful. That's because Apple now allows you to select whether or not you want to be notified if a SMS message is sent to the "transactions" or "promotions" folders.
You could let iOS try to figure it out how to route an incoming message, but I've already had one message that was not a transaction end up in the transaction folder.
With simply filter SMS, you have a lot more control over where you want to route messages and how you get notified about them.
The app is free with no ads, no paid upgrades. The developer is providing a great service to the iOS community by providing such a useful tool.

I am very happy you enjoy the application, thank you for this very thoughtful review! 💚
Amazing app
Works wonders for filtering annoying spam. No idea how this app is free.
Working so far
The only times of which I’ve had problems with the app is when I haven’t configured the settings properly. Spam only comes into iMessage when you don’t put effort, and I’ve also had one message from a valid sender show up in my morning summary but not in my texts.
Bottom line is this: through and modify the filters correctly and it’ll just work without you having to think about it.

OMG 😆
It worked!!!!! omg thank you so much!! 😊 You are a miracle! I will keep my word. Also just to let you know, Your SMS Filter Application works better than Norton. IDK about anyone else but to me, that is DEFINITELY saying something. IDK if you received my previous review but i stated i was having security issues with someone sending me fake identity verification code from a fake code generator. I did find the code in unknown and that’s okay. The first one did not come through and thats really good. That mean’t that it was coming from the fake generator. I’m sharing this app with friends, family, and coworkers. I’m also sharing to social media post’s. Great app!! I’m so grateful, thank you!

My go to text spam manager. Version 2 works great with iOS 18
This is my go to text spam blocker. You won’t find a more full featured text spam manager, free or paid for, on the App Store, IMO. You can choose automatic blocking from pre-configured lists (useful during political season). You can block by sender and/or body content. Within that context, you can choose case sensitivity, “exact vs contains”, and even route messages to different folders. It’s all in a very simple and intuitive interface.
The ability to block email senders, which these days is almost always spam, is built in. Best of all, there’s a “test your filter” option so you can see the results of your blocking or allowing. There are even more filtering options, so download the app and check them out yourself.
It is completely free, no restrictions on the number of entries, and no ads. It’s useful to put the iPad native version on an iPad, even one without cellular, if you are forwarding messages to your iPad from your iPhone. This is because the app settings and filters are synchronized over iCloud. So, you can put in a new filter in the app on your iPad and have it take effect on your iPhone for both devices (note that the installation instructions are for a cellular iPad and you do not need to install it on a non-cellular iPad for it to block forwarded text messages)
Thoroughly thought out and highly recommended👍

Great
This filter works pretty well but the "Block Email Senders" doesn't seem to work. I'd also like to block texts that come from countries outside of my own country (US), as a lot of scam texts are from
Foreigners
Foreigners
Doesn’t work
I installed this app because I keep getting bombarded with political messages and I wanted to get rid of them. This app has failed to stop it and I’m still getting political text messages asking for donations. This app doesn’t do anything at all. It is a garbage app
