Block spam text messages

Spam text messages can be blocked by sender, reported as junk, and filtered by message pattern. On iPhone, FingerWag adds private rules for unwanted messages from unknown senders.

Block senders when the number repeats

If the same number keeps texting you, use iPhone’s sender blocking. This is simple and useful, but it is limited when spammers rotate numbers.

Filter message categories

FingerWag focuses on recurring categories and phrases, including fake delivery alerts, donation pushes, political outreach, and suspicious calls to action.

Use custom rules

Add a phrase, keyword, sender fragment, or short code pattern when a new spam style starts showing up in your messages.
