VeroSMS

SMS Spam Filter App for iOS

[VeroSMS @verosmsapp]

@joethomas Unfortunately there is a bug in iOS11, wherein if an SMS was previously marked as spam, all future msgs from same sender get filtered.

@rakeshkhabiya Make sure you enabled it from https://t.co/ZkmseBZ5Rb > Phone > SMS/Call Reporting > Tick VeroSMS.

Just to jinx my sanity, I’ve been 12 hours spam text free after putting @verosmsapp on my phone. I guess it’s working? Or ATT got sick of me calling & screaming at them.

@Harry89474759 @tanmays Those who applied will be considered in case any testing is required in future. For now beta testing is over.

@AbhiHiSahi @Praval @krisnair @Truecaller All SMS processing is done on device. A crowdsourced list for keywords in maintained on our servers. No SMS leaves your device.

There are some known issues (iOS bugs already reported to Apple) you may want to look at https://t.co/KTDqwSE6Rp

@ksprashu @joethomas 12.4 has fixed it from what several people have reported in so far.

Personally I’m on iOS 13 Beta 5 and filter is working on that as well.

[VeroSMS @verosmsapp]

@joethomas I have filed a radar for this, hopefully Apple fixes this soon. A temporary solution is to delete that thread so app is able to filter.

[VeroSMS @verosmsapp]

iOS 12.3.1 introduced a bug where the first time any SMS comes from a particular sender, it skips the filter. Subsequent SMS from that sender will get filtered.

Bug report I filed with Apple: https://t.co/XzkrTdbDYc

[VeroSMS @verosmsapp]

@Vijay_PGT @tanmays @vijayshekhar All processing is done locally via on device ML filter and a crowdsourced keyword list. No SMS ever leaves your device.

@eaglests @anaggh It’s @verosmsapp - really nice!

[VeroSMS @verosmsapp]

@boy_mediocre @anaggh @PerzenP That is just a standard iOS message. The API allows the dev to send SMS to a server for processing. But in VeroSMS all processing is done locally on device. Nothing leaves your device.

[Tanmay @tanmays]

Finally got time to fix @verosmsapp filter not working on iOS 12 and turns out IdentityLookup API is entirely failing on iOS 12.

@vishnugopal Nope. Still exists on iOS12.

[VeroSMS @verosmsapp]

@emad_alghamdi @tanmays Oh that should work. Adding the sms from: name should work. Are you using iOS 12?

[VeroSMS @verosmsapp]

@Praval Sometimes companies use the same gateway to send OTP and promotional sms. In this case the filter sends the sms to spam if its a promotional sms but future texts might contain OTP. In this situation the filter doesn’t run and iOS marks it as spam automatically.

[VeroSMS @verosmsapp]

@DeepXP @anaggh @VodafoneIN Thank you! This means a lot. :)

[Deep Ganatra @DeepXP]

@anaggh @VodafoneIN Use @verosmsapp and it will make your life easier. Works very well. Paid around 170 for it.

[VeroSMS @verosmsapp]

@dfdy_ Let me know if you face any issues.

[VeroSMS @verosmsapp]

@Umesh_Kadam There is a bug in iOS in which if an SMS by a sender was previously marked as spam, any future msgs get sent to spam automatically. I have reported this to Apple.

To prevent it, you‘ll have to delete the entire thread of that sender & any future sms will get filtered correctly.

[VeroSMS @verosmsapp]

@Umesh_Kadam @tanmays Once it’s flagged as spam to only way to unflag is to delete that entire thread. Any future messages from that sender will be filtered correctly.
