Stop Political Spam Texts
Block campaign texts
Free
Political campaign texts are out of control. Stop Political Spam Texts helps move obvious campaign, fundraising, polling, ballot-measure, PAC, party, and election texts from unknown senders out of your main inbox and into Junk.
It runs locally on your iPhone using Apple's built-in SMS filtering system. There is no account, no login, no tracking, no ads, no analytics, and no subscription.
What it does:
- Filters likely political campaign texts from unknown senders
- Sends filtered messages to Junk, not deletion
- Lets you choose Normal or Aggressive filtering
- Lets you turn political categories on or off
- Lets you add your own blocked or allowed terms
- Includes a message tester so you can see how the filter behaves
Privacy:
- No account
- No ads
- No analytics SDKs
- No tracking SDKs
- No server classification
- No message collection
- No persistent message history
- Messages stay on your device
The app does not distinguish between political parties, candidates, or ideologies. Political campaign categories are filtered equally.
Setup note:
Apple requires you to enable SMS filtering manually in Settings. The app includes step-by-step setup instructions.

Stop Political Spam Texts is MIT-licensed. Fork it, steal it, improve it. Anyone can inspect how it works or make their own variant.
