SMS Filter by Giryaev helps you automatically sort unwanted messages using your own rules. Specify senders and keywords — the app will take care of the rest. *** 7 REASONS TO INSTALL: 1. Block “text” senders Many promotional and service messages come from senders like SUNGSAM, INFO, or PROMO — and iOS does not allow you to block them using standard tools. SMS Filter by Giryaev solves this problem: the app lets you block messages from “text” senders that cannot be added to the iOS block list. 2. Only your own rules Operator-level automatic filtering often makes mistakes — sometimes blocking important messages, sometimes letting spam through. SMS Filter by Giryaev is made for those who want full control over incoming messages. The app sorts SMS strictly according to your own rules — without relying on external algorithms. 3. Flexible filtering setup SMS Filter by Giryaev allows you to create two types of filtering rules: by sender (including “text” senders without a numeric number) and by keywords. Each rule can route messages to one of the standard system folders: Spam or Promotions. 4. Complete privacy and security SMS Filter by Giryaev does not collect your messages, does not transmit data outside the device, and does not require internet access. Filtering is performed entirely within iOS — using Apple’s secure built-in mechanism. 5. Minimalistic and easy-to-use interface The interface of SMS Filter by Giryaev is designed so you immediately understand where everything is: two rule lists, quick adding, and no hidden settings. The app is comfortable to use even if you prefer not to configure anything extra. 6. Filters are saved in iCloud All rules created in SMS Filter by Giryaev are automatically included in your iPhone backup. When you switch to a new device and restore from iCloud, your filters are restored together with the system — no reconfiguration required. 7. Free, with no ads or limits SMS Filter by Giryaev requires no subscriptions, trial activations, ads, or limits on the number of rules. Just install the app, set up your filters — and enjoy. *** IMPORTANT! After installation, the app will not start filtering SMS automatically — this is an iOS limitation. Filtering must be enabled manually in system settings. You only need to do this once. How to enable SMS filtering: 1. Open Settings → Apps → Messages 2. Scroll down to the Unknown Senders section 3. Enable Screen Unknown Senders 4. Go to Text Message Filter 5. Select SMS Filter in the list After that, all rules you created in SMS Filter by Giryaev will begin filtering incoming SMS. *** This app was created as part of the GIRYAEV PRO project.
