Nomorobo Max can analyze and block unwanted spam texts!
In this article, we'll show you how to enable SMS Filter and SMS Spam Reporting.
To enable SMS Filter:
- In the Settings app, navigate to:
- Messages > Unknown & Spam
- Enable Filter Unknown Senders and choose Nomorobo Max
To enable SMS Spam Reporting:
- In the Settings app, navigate to:
- Phone > SMS/Call Reporting
- Enable Nomorobo Max
Once you have followed the above instructions, you can Test the SMS Filter:
- In the Nomorobo Max app, navigate to:
- Settings > Test SMS Filter
After enabling SMS Filter, any spam text identified by Nomorobo Max will be sorted into the Junk filter in the Messages app. You will not receive notifications for messages categorized as Junk, but you can access the folder by going to the Messages App > Filters > Junk.
Nomorobo Max identifies spam texts in the following ways: First, by phone number, matching it with our robocaller database of over 5 Million robocallers. Second, by URLs in the body of the text message. We have a growing list of suspicious URLs, as well as a list of URLs that are allowed and will never be identified as junk.
In the event that a legitimate text is mistakenly identified as Junk, the quickest way to ensure any future text from this number are allowed through, is to add the number as a contact. To do this tap the Number > Info > Create New Contact. Any number that's in your contacts will never be blocked by the SMS Filter. Adding it as a contact will also move the text from Junk to All Messages/Known Senders.
If a spam text is not filtered into Junk, please report the number to Nomorobo Max by opening the text message, tap Report Message, tap Report as Junk, then tap Done. You may also consider blocking the caller directly on your iPhone.
TIP: If you don't see the report message option, please ensure SMS Spam Reporting is enabled.
