[RohitG]

Receiving spam messages is almost like getting unwanted flyers in your mailbox, but only more annoying! But here’s the good news - we’ve improved the SMS filtering feature for iOS 16 and above. Read on to know more about the feature.

There’s no denying that spam and unwanted messages have become a major nuisance. From annoying promotions to harmful scams, these messages can put your personal information at risk. But hate it or love it, SMS still remains an important part of our daily communication. So instead of the problem, we decided to focus on the solution! With our enhanced SMS Filtering Feature (for iOS 16 and above), dealing with spam messages will be a thing of the past.

 

The SMS Filtering Categories for iPhone.

• The Finance category will filter out all bank-related messages, OTPs, and other financial messages.
• The Orders category will bear all delivery, exchange, and other e-commerce-related updates.
• The Reminders category will filter out bill reminders, subscription messages, and other reminders.
• The Coupons category will have all the promotional messages, including a coupon code.
• The Offers category will have all the promotional messages received that include a discount or special offer.

 

 

How to Enable the Feature:

 

To make the most of this feature, you will have to enable it. Set up the SMS filtering on iPhone in easy steps:
Step 1: Go to Messages in the iPhone setting
Step 2: Tap on unknown and spam
Step 3: Turn ON ‘Filter Unknown senders’ and select Truecaller
Step 4: Tap on Enable 

 

 

How does the Filtering Work?
With Truecaller's filtering feature enabled, any SMS you receive from a business or non-business sender, except contacts or iMessages, will be categorized as safe or SMS junk based on previous reports by the Truecaller community.

 

Spam messages from unknown senders are filtered into the 'Junk' category, while other messages are sorted into their respective categories. All filtering occurs locally on your device and is not sent to servers, so you can rest assured that your privacy is protected.

 

Benefits?
The advantages of using the Enhanced SMS filtering on Truecaller are clear as a blue sky:

• Your inbox will stay clean and organized just like different clothes stacked into different drawers, but only automatically!
• You can save time by getting straight to the messages that matter.
• It will help you avoid scams and phishing attempts that could lead to security issues or financial loss. 

 

To sum it up…
If you're tired of dealing with spam and unwanted SMS messages, Truecaller's SMS filtering feature is a great solution. With the filtering categories, you can avoid the messages you don't want to see. Just be sure to review your spam folder regularly to check for false positives or missed messages, and adjust your settings as needed.  And remember, it's Free!

This is a great feature but there isn’t any way to report false positives - I have genuine messages from legit companies that have been flagged as Spam.

iPhone SMS app doesn’t have this option. You can start reporting it here on the community, share sender ID and SMS content (hide sensitive information).

Is it possible to report these via a support ticket?
