SMS Shield

SMS Shield 2.0 is rebuilt from the ground up. FIXED • Filtering could stop for members even though their membership was active • Numbers didn't match when written differently, for example with or without the country code • Blocked words weren't checked against the sender's name • Reported messages didn't always reach us • The filter no longer depends on iCloud • Asking for a new language opened an empty email • Testing a message could show a different result from Messages NEW • Designed for iPhone Duo and iPad • SMS Shield AI models retrained and updated • New SMS Shield AI model for Spanish • See what SMS Shield AI knows in each language: words, version and when it was trained • Block whole area codes and number ranges, like 705* • Block texts sent from email addresses, or from every address at a domain like @outlook.com • Block sender names, like AD-PROMO • Allow List for senders and words, which always wins • Verification codes and bank alerts are never sent to Junk, and can be sorted into Transactions • Test Filter shows where a text would go, and why • Pause filtering for an hour, until tomorrow morning, or until you turn it back on • Report a message: numbers, codes and email addresses are removed first, and you see what's sent • New setup guide for iOS 18 and later • Now also in German, Spanish, French and Turkish Your lists and membership carry over.
