Description
Blacklists don’t work anymore. Even trusted sources like your bank bombard you with irrelevant offers, while spammers effortlessly switch numbers to bypass filters. It’s time for a smarter approach.
Take control of your inbox with SpamOff – the first SMS filter built on a whitelist system.
FEATURES
• Mute SMS messages from unknown senders.
• Quickly allow texts based on sender country, favorites list, keywords, or an important texts database.
• Automatically detect and allow OTPs and verification codes to ensure you never miss them.
• Fine-tune your preferences with custom message templates.
• Apply targeted filtering via SIM profiles.
BENEFITS
• 100% on-device processing for enhanced privacy.
• Free of ads and trackers.
• Seamless dark and light mode support.
• Compatible with dynamic type for accessibility.
SpamOff creates a Junk folder in the Messages app, redirecting filtered texts there. You won’t receive notifications for these messages, but they remain accessible for a limited time before being automatically removed by the system.

Ratings and Reviews
best
thanks for great app😍
Overall good but be wary
This app does a pretty good job of filtering out messages. Was very helpful during the election season with all the spam texts. However, this will put all random texts in spam unless whitelisted by contact number. This can be inconvenient in situations like someone from an unknown number texting you or you getting a text notification that your order is ready at a restaurant etc. If instead of only being able whitelist by number and message content, we were able to allow messages by keywords, I could’ve made it work.
Developer Response ,
Hey, thanks so much for the thoughtful review and for sharing this awesome suggestion! I’m excited to let you know that the feature you requested—allowing messages by keywords—has just been added in version 2.6. It should make handling those unknown but important messages (like order notifications) much easier.
I really appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback—it helps me make the app better for everyone. Let me know how the new feature works for you!
Thanks again for your support!

False positive rate was way too high
This app blocked 10 out of 20 of my incoming text messages. Only 2 of them were spam. I also had many one time passcodes blocked even though I turned on the setting to “allow one time passcodes”
Developer Response ,
Hey, thanks for the feedback! It sounds like there might have been a misunderstanding about the app’s purpose. SpamOff is designed to allow messages only from senders you know or those you’ve explicitly added to the whitelist. It’s not a traditional spam blocker; it focuses on letting through texts from trusted sources. Regarding the OTP issue, I’d love to improve the detection accuracy. If you could share examples of the blocked messages, that would be super helpful! Feel free to email me at spamoffapp@gmail.com.
Thanks again for your input!
