One of the most important features of iOS 11 is giving applications the feature to block calls and text messages, but as you know this feature is a double-edged sword, meaning that the system gives applications the right to block calls and text messages, this gives the right to these applications to access your calls and messages, but the iOS system is known for security. And to preserve the privacy of the user, how does he do this?

How to get rid of annoying text messages without putting your privacy at risk

The truth always fascinates us with the solutions that Apple uses to preserve user privacy, and after we see the advantages of the iOS system in the eyes of the developers, we know why Apple takes its time to issue a certain feature, and for example when you get a call, the iOS system does not send the phone number that called you to applications like TrueCaller The application is required to give the system a list of the numbers that it wants to block, so the application does not know the number that called you. This is a terrible precaution from Apple, and it makes you comfortable as a user that applications do not see the numbers calling you.

But in the case of text messages, the matter is different, Apple does not give the message blocking application any message you responded to or if the message sender is in your contact list, but only new messages from a stranger, and this definitely enhances your privacy, but any new message that you receive can be done. Sending it to the message blocking application, and this caused me some annoyance, I do not completely trust an application like TrueCaller, and I do not want a message from a bank or a message containing a password or important information to come to me and reach an application that analyzes my data and uses it in any way, so I was I am looking for a solution that preserves my privacy and at the same time I get rid of annoying messages, and now I have reached a conclusion and I want to share this solution with you.


The well-known TrueCaller app has a feature to block spam, but as I told you, I don't trust this app even though I use it to block calls, a scary thing to know that an app knows the content of my text messages and can store it on its servers.

Terrifying warning, isn't it?

But at the same time I get annoying messages that I want to get rid of, including advertisements from telecommunications companies, including advertisements of congratulations, I won a prize of one million dollars, and also someone who found a gold statue and wants to sell it, and what is new is ads of exterminating companies, all of these messages bother me and I want to delete them.

So I found a great app that does this feature without connecting to the Internet or storing my messages on external servers and at the same time deleting spam messages via keywords.
