Less clutter. More of the page you came to read. Block intrusive ads, reduce pop-ups and unwanted redirects, and bring the article back into focus in Safari. Spend less time closing distractions and more time reading the content that matters to you. BLOCK ADS AND OVERLAYS Reduce banners, pop-up windows and floating layers that cover the page. Give the content more room, with fewer interruptions competing for your attention. REDUCE UNWANTED REDIRECTS Help prevent supported websites from pulling you away from the current page or trying to open another app. Stay with what you were reading. CLEAN UP THE ARTICLE Reduce visual clutter on supported pages so the article is easier to focus on. Keep the main content at the heart of your reading experience. CHOOSE YOUR READING STYLE Switch between Dark and Warm Paper reading modes to suit your surroundings and personal preference. CHECK SUPPORTED SITES View supported sites and their available rules in the app, and adjust the browsing experience where supported. Features and results can vary from one website to another. GET STARTED IN SAFARI Follow the in-app instructions to enable the extension in Safari settings and allow the required website access. Features work on supported web pages in Safari. Website changes, rules and permissions can affect the results; blocking every ad is not guaranteed. PURCHASES AND SUBSCRIPTIONS Paid features require an in-app purchase. There is no free trial. Available plans, billing periods, prices and offer eligibility are shown before you buy. A paid introductory offer is not a free trial. If you choose an auto-renewable subscription with an offer, it renews at the regular price and billing period shown at purchase once the offer ends. Payment is handled through your Apple Account. Auto-renewable subscriptions renew unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple Account subscription settings. Available purchases and local-currency prices depend on your App Store storefront.

About

Spam Text Blocker

Features
Read full description

Filter unwanted texts with keywords you choose. Block specific phone numbers or number ranges, and keep exceptions for trusted numbers. Core protection requires a Premium subscription. Enable call protection and text filtering separately in iPhone Settings before using your rules. SMS FILTERING WITH YOUR OWN RULES Add words, phrases or senders you want to filter. Matching takes place locally on your device for eligible SMS/MMS from unknown senders. Filtering does not apply to iMessage or messages from contacts. BLOCK NUMBERS AND NUMBER RANGES Add individual numbers to your Block List or create a number-range rule. Keep trusted numbers on your Allow List, which takes priority within this app's rules and number library. Range-size limits apply; review broad rules carefully to avoid blocking calls you want. OPTIONAL NUMBER LIBRARY Premium also includes access to number-library blocking. Check the library status, download available updates, then enable and apply it. GUIDED IPHONE SETUP Follow the app's separate setup instructions for calls and texts. Check the setup status, save your rules and apply changes. Subscribing alone does not enable system protection. WHAT TO EXPECT Results depend on your rules, enabled library, iOS settings, and other apps or carrier services. The app does not identify every unknown caller or guarantee that every unwanted call or text will be stopped. Local app activity is not your iPhone's complete call or message history. PRIVACY AND ACCOUNTS Personal rules and local app activity are stored on this device. The app uses network services for guest sessions, membership, purchase verification, and number-library delivery. Message content is not sent for remote analysis. You can delete your app account in the app; this does not cancel Apple subscriptions. PREMIUM SUBSCRIPTIONS Downloading the app is free. A weekly or annual auto-renewable subscription is required to add blocking rules and use core protection. Review Apple's localized price and renewal period before purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel in your Apple Account subscription settings. Deleting the app does not cancel your subscription. Use Restore Purchases to restore eligible purchases.
