About

Spam Text Blocker & Filter

Features
Read full description

Suspicious texts wear you down — fake parcel fees, “your account is locked” alerts, prize bait, endless promos. Blockr filters scam texts from unknown senders, with phishing, promotions and prize bait filtering available with Pro. Turn on Blockr once as your text message filter. From then on, iOS hands texts from unknown senders to Blockr, and junk is moved to your Junk or Promotions folder. Texts from your contacts are never filtered. WHAT BLOCKR DOES • Filters scam texts from unknown senders — free, with no time limit • Checks eligible incoming texts and texts you paste on your iPhone; message content isn't uploaded • Check any text — paste something suspicious and see what Blockr finds • Explains itself — every check comes with a plain-language reason • A setup that fits you — tell Blockr which texts bother you most BLOCKR PRO • Every category: phishing, promotions and prize bait, not just scams • Strict mode for borderline junk • Rules for unknown senders: block and allow lists, number prefixes, email senders, keywords, and silence unknown senders • View up to 500 saved flagged checks (free shows the latest three) The weekly plan includes a 3-day free trial for eligible new subscribers. Yearly subscriptions and a one-time lifetime purchase are also available. After the trial, the weekly subscription renews at the price shown before purchase. Weekly and yearly subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the trial or billing period ends; manage them in your Apple Account settings. Good to know: Blockr sorts eligible unknown-sender texts into folders; it doesn't delete messages or block calls. Automatic filtering excludes your contacts.
