Frequently Asked Questions
Learn more about our product
What happens to filtered messages?
When we identify a message as unwanted, it will become available in the Junk folder of iMessages and wont disturb your phone.
Which messages are checked for spam?
Spam Shield will only check SMS text messages from senders you have never had a conversation with before when they are initially delivered to your device. Engaging in a conversation that has been marked as spam will convert it to a normal conversation.
I'm receiving unwanted messages
Spammers are always changing their messaging tactics. Use the Request tab in the app to submit sample messages so we can actively take measures against these new formats and filter them. During the request process you can optionally provide contact information to receive updates about the status of your request.
Do my text messages ever leave my device?
Spam Shield treats user privacy as a top priority. All spam detection decisions are made on device and the contents of those messages are never saved. The only time data can leave your device is when submitting a request. A request is purely made up of the information you provide when filling in the form, such as sample messages or an email address for status updates. No additional data is captured or used in a request form.
