SMS FilterPro filters incoming SMS and MMS from unknown senders. Define filter rules so that spam messages with specific terms in the sender and/or in the body of the message are no longer disruptive, or that messages are filed in specific folders in the Messages app. SMS FilterPro uses its own smart logic to catch the search terms in the incoming message and to color-code the corresponding terms in your test message! Main functionality: โข Different filters to classify messages as spam, or also as promotions or transactions. Subcategories are available from iOS 16. โข New incoming messages matching a filter are automatically moved to specific folders (according classification) in the Messages app. โข No notifications or badges for spam messages anymore. โข Verify a message with all your filters. Restriction by operation system: โข Works only with SMS and MMS messages from unknown senders; it doesn't work with messages from senders in your Contacts list or with iMessage messages.
