Take control of unwanted texts without giving up your privacy. SMS Filter – Smart Filter organizes incoming SMS using custom rules based on message content or the sender’s phone number.

The app evaluates only messages from senders who are not in your Contacts, helping keep personal conversations untouched. Features: - Create custom rules using message content or phone numbers - Create unlimited filter rules - Organize matching messages into Transaction, Promotion, or Junk - Activate or deactivate any rule whenever you want - Filter only messages from senders outside your Contacts - Sync filter rules across your devices with iCloud - Works locally and offline - Supports Dark Mode
