Choosing a filter

Best spam text blocker for iPhone

The best spam text blocker for iPhone should be private, easy to enable, and flexible enough to filter the message patterns you personally want out of your inbox.

Look for on-device filtering

Spam texts can contain sensitive information. FingerWag is designed to avoid uploading message content and to keep filtering local.

Look for custom rules

Spam changes constantly. Custom rules let you adapt without waiting for a central spam database to catch up.

Look for clear setup instructions

iOS requires users to enable a message filter in Settings. FingerWag includes setup instructions in the app and on this site.
