Dont Text: Block Spam Texts 4+

I was using TextKiller before, but that one charges and was letting certain things through, such as when you are involuntarily added to a google group (why is that even possible?) full of sleazy content. I started getting those about 250 times a day. I wished there was a way to enter keywords to block. Then I found out about Don’t Text. It lets you filter using keywords. Unfortunately it doesn’t seem to be filtering the known spam Text Killer did filter, so I’m getting those 20-person group texts again. If iPhone allowed me to use both apps to filter instead of choosing just one, no spam would get through.

Thank you for the review and for using Dont Text! So glad to hear that Dont Text is blocking most of those spam texts but wish we were getting them all. If you send me a message from the website (https://donttext.app/contact/) your feedback about the texts that are not getting blocked could help me improve Dont Text. Thanks!

I have been getting several spam texts per week. I report them to my carrier as spam as well as to the FTC, block each number in my phone, & delete the text. They just keep coming from new numbers.

I tried this app because I’m so sick of it. I’m just using the free version. I scrolled through all of my reported texts & used those as a template of what keywords to enter in the block list. So far, only one spam text had made it to my primary inbox since installation & it did not include any of the blocked keywords, so I added them. I’ve found a few blocked texts in the junk folder & still reported to spam & FTC & blocked & deleted. I have no idea if that helps, but I figure it can’t hurt. At least I’m not getting all the notifications, which helps. Another user reported she was still getting the spam group texts. I have not gotten one of those since installation, so I’ll deal with that when it happens.

But I’m pleased so far & I think it’s doing the most that can be done, as I’ve heard iPhone will not allow any texts to be completely blocked & so they must be sent through. Not getting constant notifications is the best I can hope for & I’ll gladly take it!

Thank you for your review! So glad to hear that Dont Text is working for you so far! If you ever have any questions or need any help, please don't hesitate to reach out. Thank you again!

Was getting several disgusting vulgar messages daily. Thanks to Don't Text, haven't been getting any more so far. Thankyou!!! No more scam/spam messages either. I am using the FREE version, and just type in the Keyword of unwanted text(s). The only thing is, make sure to check your Junk and Deleted Messages imessage folder occasionally, as I have had to recover a few deleted messages that I never used a keyword to block, so be alert to that, but otherwise, I am very pleased with this app and recommend it.

Hi - thank you for your review! Awesome to hear Dont Text is helping you block so many scam messages
