Safe Message Shield helps you securely filter unwanted SMS and calls directly on your device. It operates entirely offline, never sends your data anywhere, and fully integrates with iOS’s standard message categories. With trusted numbers, block lists, keyword-based filtering customization, and detailed statistics, you have complete control. Key Features On-Device SMS Filtering: Automatically sends unwanted messages to the Junk folder and organizes them into iOS categories. Customizable Filters: Route messages containing specific keywords to categories such as Finance, Orders, Reminders, Health, Weather, Carrier, Rewards, Government Services, Others, Promotions, Coupons, Deals, and more. Safe Numbers (Whitelist): Add phone numbers or sender names to ensure their messages always appear in your inbox. Block List (Blacklist): Quickly block any unwanted number. Comprehensive Statistics: View counts for blocked SMS (Junk), filtered messages by category, total filtered messages, and blocked calls. Reset counters with a single tap. Contacts Integration: Easily add numbers directly from your Contacts.

How It Works Priority Order: Safe Numbers > Filter Rules > Block List. Senders matching your Safe Numbers are always delivered directly to your inbox.
