Hidden iPhone trick filters out unwanted spam texts

IF YOU are tired of receiving spam text messages on your iOS device, then you need to try this iPhone hack ASAP.

The useful tip was shared on TikTok and utilizes iPhone’s internal settings to help iOS users filter out unwanted texts.

TikToker Scott Polderman shared a helpful hack for iOS users

The TikTok reel, which was shared by user @scottpolderman, showcases the simple hack in a 15-second video.

In the post, captioned “iPhone Trick” followed by a series of iPhone hashtags, the user could be seen recording himself as he stated, “here’s an iPhone trick I bet you didn’t know, number 18.”

Polderman then changed the camera’s point of view to screen record his iPhone’s home screen.

He headed to his device’s Settings and then selected Messages.

Polderman continued to scroll all the way to the bottom and then ticked Filter Unknown Senders.

The TikTok video has since gone viral, racking up more than 57,000 likes and 2,368 comments.

Many of the comments expressed gratitude, highlighting just how widespread spam text messages are.

One of the comments read: “I really like your videos and tips. Thanks for taking the time to do these!”

Another comment stated: “I’m so glad I found your account! It works!”

While Polderman’s video was certainly helpful to many iOS users, it didn’t address those who use android devices.

If you are an Android user, you can find a similar feature on your phone.

Simply hit Settings (displayed as a three-dot icon) and then enable Caller ID & Spam.
