## What is SMS Filter+?

This is a safe, ef­fi­cient and pro­fes­sion­al SMS fil­ter. You can cus­tomize your own fil­ters to help you fil­ter spam and MMS mes­sages from un­known phone num­bers.

What it does:
Automatically classify your messages, filter junk messages, let you avoid being disturbed by spam during work, rest or when you are on your phone(such as gaming or reading).

Privacy matters:
All ver­i­fi­ca­tion ac­tiv­i­ties oc­cur in a closed and se­cured process pro­vid­ed by iOS, with­out the need to con­nect to the net­work through­out, and SMS Fil­ter+ will not read, col­lect or tag your mes­sages.

Customize your filters:
Filter your messages like a pro, support check phone numbers, text, containing multiple keywords, start/end with keywords, match with Regular Expression and other advanced features.

How it works:
When a mes­sage comes, SMS Fil­ter+ will al­ways go through your Allow, Transaction and Promotion filters. Once there is any filter made a match, messages automatically classified into the corresponding folder. If those filters can not make a match, then SMS Fil­ter+ will go through your Junk filters, mes­sage will be fil­tered if it matched as spam.

Notifications & Badge
If a message classified as Allow, Transaction and Promotion, you will still get notifications and unread badge on the Message app icon, if a message filtered as spam, you won’t get any notifications and there is no unread badge.

## Key features

- Automatic message classification
- Customizable spam filters
- Filter by phone number, text, keywords, regex

### 4/5 — Needed capability

*2025-08-27, version 14.3.0*

Valued addition to messaging function

### 3/5 — Monthly subscription?

*2025-04-27*

I noticed a charge of $1.07 after my original purchase. Is this supposed to be a monthly subscription? I did not see that when I bought it. How does one cancel this monthly billing?

### 1/5 — غير مفهوم ولا يوجد شرح

*2024-06-02, version 14.3.0*

برنامج ماحصلت له شرح وغير مفهوم ولا يدعم العربية

### 5/5 — 一直在用，希望作者持续更新

*2024-03-09*

很好用，自己设定规则，支持作者！！！

### 2/5 — Regex is case sensitive

*2024-03-07*

It seems fine for more basic usage, but if you want to set up more advanced filters with regex, a huge issue is that all regex patterns are case sensitive, and I can’t figure out a sane way around this. Additionally the app doesn’t seem to play well with country codes, at least just from simulated testing.

### 5/5 — Это чудо!

*2024-02-04*

Мечтал забанить SMS по имени отправителя, но в iOS нельзя, если нет номера. У 99% SMS нет номеров, только названия. И при этом не отправляя все SMS в тот же Яндекс, который сможет читать все.

### 1/5 — Does not work at all.

*2023-12-24, version 14.3.0*

Does not show up in settings. Worthless.

### 4/5 — 归类优先级

*2023-12-02*

两个规则同时满足时没有优先级设定。例如运营商给我发余额提醒，结果被归类到财务里去了。

### 4/5 — Funziona bene (ma serve un riavvio!)

*2023-07-02, version 14.2.0*

App fatta bene. Intelligente l’idea di implementare i filtri stile l’app Comandi. Però per farla funzionare, almeno nel mio caso, è stato necessario riavviare l’iPhone dopo averla configurata. Gli SMS arrivavano ma non venivano filtrati. Dopo il riavvio, tutto ok.

### 3/5 — How to use Regex Match?

*2023-04-27, version 14.2.0*

no explanation, give an example pls

## Frequently asked questions about SMS Filter+

### What does SMS Filter+ do?

SMS Filter+ is a professional SMS filtering application designed to block spam and unwanted MMS messages. It automatically classifies incoming messages and allows users to create custom filters based on various criteria, ensuring you avoid disturbances from junk messages.

### How does SMS Filter+ protect my privacy?

The app prioritizes user privacy by performing all verification activities within a closed and secured process provided by iOS. It does not require network connectivity for filtering and will not read, collect, or tag your messages.

### What kind of filters can I create?

You can create highly customizable filters to manage your messages like a pro. This includes filtering by specific phone numbers, matching text content, containing multiple keywords, starting or ending with keywords, and even using advanced features like Regular Expressions.

### How are messages classified and filtered?

When a message arrives, it first goes through your 'Allow', 'Transaction', and 'Promotion' filters. If it matches any of these, it's automatically classified into the corresponding folder. If no match is found, it then passes through 'Junk' filters, and if identified as spam, it will be filtered.

### Will I still get notifications for important messages?

Yes, if a message is classified as 'Allow', 'Transaction', or 'Promotion', you will still receive notifications and see an unread badge on your Messages app icon. Messages filtered as spam will not generate any notifications and will not show an unread badge.
