Take control of SMS filtering with SMSniper. Create rules for senders, words and phrases, or use regular expressions for more specific matches. Your rules are evaluated on your iPhone before any optional Cloud AI processing. • Filter by sender, message text, or both. • Choose case-sensitive matching or regular expressions. • Allow messages or sort matches into Junk, Promotions and Transactions, with supported subcategories. • Test a sender and message in the app to see how your rules respond. Free includes up to 10 rules. Pro unlocks unlimited rules with a one-time purchase. Pro AI adds optional Cloud AI Filtering and is available through monthly or yearly subscriptions, or a lifetime purchase. Product availability and prices appear in the app. Cloud AI is off by default and requires your consent. Only messages that no local rule matches are sent, with their sender and text, over an encrypted connection to our classification service on Cloudflare’s global network. Processing may take place outside your country. You can turn it off at any time. Automatic classification can make mistakes; review your filtered messages regularly. If Cloud AI cannot return a classification, SMSniper returns no filtering decision. Enable SMSniper in your iPhone’s message filtering settings. iOS determines which messages are eligible for filtering and which categories are available.
