SpamShield vs DNSSEC

Stop spam texts and unwanted calls on your iPhone. SpamShield filters SMS from unknown senders and blocks calls from numbers you choose, entirely on your device. SMS FILTER Moves spam texts from unknown senders to the Spam list in Messages. Block senders by number, or by keywords you add, like loan or you won. Built-in checks for common scam phrases, suspicious links and promotional messages. Whitelist trusted numbers so their texts always get through. Optionally send every text from unknown senders to Spam. Adjust how strict the filter is. CALL BLOCKING Add a number to your Blacklist, and calls from it are blocked before your iPhone rings. EASY SETUP iOS lets you turn on SMS filters and call blocking only in the Settings app. SpamShield shows you every step with screenshots. To turn on the SMS filter, open Settings, then Apps, then Messages, tap Text Message Filter and select SpamShield. To turn on call blocking, open Settings, then Apps, then Phone, tap Call Blocking and Identification and turn on SpamShield. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Works fully offline, with no account and no servers. Filtering runs on your iPhone, and your lists and messages never leave it. GOOD TO KNOW SpamShield works on iPhone only. iOS sends only SMS and MMS from senders not in your contacts to the filter. iMessages and texts from your contacts are never filtered. iOS does not block calls from your contacts or from numbers you recently called.

DNSSEC routes your device's DNS queries through a DNSSEC-validating resolver — in one tap, without a VPN. Modern DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) and DNS-over-TLS (DoT) encrypt your queries in transit. DNSSEC validation at the resolver ensures the answers haven't been tampered with. Together they make DNS the private, trustworthy channel it was always meant to be. BUILT-IN DNS4EU PRESETS DNS4EU is the European Commission-backed public resolver network. Four presets ship with the app: • Protective — blocks malware and phishing domains • Protective + Ad Blocking — adds tracker and ad filtering on top • Protective + Child Protection — adds adult content filtering • Unfiltered — encrypted and DNSSEC-validating, no content filtering Pick a preset and tap Apply. iOS will prompt you once to allow the DNS profile, then it's active system-wide. YOUR OWN RESOLVER Prefer a different provider? Add any DoH or DoT endpoint: • Enter a DoH URL (https://…) or a DoT hostname • Optionally add fallback IP addresses for bootstrapping • Flag it as DNSSEC-validating to track which resolvers you trust Custom resolvers are stored on-device and never leave it. ONE TAP, SYSTEM-WIDE The profile installs via the operating system's built-in DNS Settings — no VPN tunnel, no proxy, no configuration profile to trust manually. Once applied, every app on your device uses the configured resolver. Remove it any time from within the app or from Settings › General › VPN & Device Management › DNS. WORKS EVERYWHERE Available for iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, and Apple Vision Pro.
