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.
