Junk texts,
out of sight.

Your own rules, and a way to check them

See exactly where a text would go.

Build a rule in plain steps: if a text contains these words, check whether it has a link, then send it to Junk or Promotions. Rules run top to bottom and the first match wins.

Paste any text into Test and Shoofox shows each filter it passed through and the result. The text you paste isn't saved.

What iPhone allows

Plain about the limits.

iPhone lets a filter app sort texts from unknown senders into Messages' Junk, Promotions or Transactions folders. It never passes the app iMessages or texts from your contacts, it doesn't let any app delete texts, and only one filter app can be on at a time. You choose Shoofox in Settings after installing.
