Can iOS 16 filter spam messages? -IOS 16 how to filter spam messages?

Android phones have long had the function of filtering spam messages, which can automatically help us block harassing messages and phone calls. So does Apple's mobile phone have this function? Now that the iOS 16 system has come out and the function of filtering spam messages has been updated, how does iOS 16 filter spam messages? Let's have a look.

June 16 how to filter spam messages in iOS 16? The API provided by Apple's iOS system allows third-party applications to detect and remind users of spam calls and messages.

With the launch of iOS 16, the short message filtering API has also been updated to support more information categories.

As early as 20 17, Apple introduced the short message filtering API into iOS 1 1, and integrated the spam database application into Apple's information application.

In this way, every time a user receives a message from a number marked as spam, it will automatically go to a separate spam inbox.

In iOS 16, developers will be able to filter spam into more different categories.

In fact, in iOS 14, in addition to spam messages, Apple also introduced two new categories for spam messages: trading and promotion.

For example, short messages with bank transaction reminders will be placed in the transaction folder, while short messages with product and service offers will be placed in the promotion folder.

IOS 16 adds 12 new subcategories to the short message filtering API, namely:

trade

finance

Reminder message

order

health

public services

weather forecast

operator

Encouragement and reward

other

saleroom

good

interest coupon

other

junk e-mail

Apple's information application will identify the categories supported by the SMS filtering application installed on the device and only display these categories to users.

For example, an application can filter text messages only by finance and orders in the transaction category.

Apple pointed out that the SMS filtering application uses a local database to identify the type of information, so the application does not need to upload the user's information to the server.

Interestingly, Apple also built its own SMS filter in iOS, but now it only applies to users in Brazil and India, because these countries are seriously affected by spam messages.

With the launch of iOS 16, India will provide some new SMS filtering subcategories by default, but users in Brazil will only have trading, promotion and spam categories.
