Apple’s new mobile operating system iOS 26 comes with important innovations that are not limited to visual details. In particular, the changes made in the iPhone’s established messages application, users have a solution for a long -term problem. The increasing spam messages that are increasing day by day seem to be less annoying. Thanks to the new system, it will be much easier to cope with unwanted content.
The Messages application gains many new features with iOS 26. Among these, group correspondences come to the forefront of manuscripts, chat backgrounds, live translation and survey. However, the most remarkable innovation is the spam message filtering system that directly concerns the user. With this new arrangement of Apple, messages are preparing to offer a much more simple and safe experience.
Messages from unknown numbers with iOS 26 are silenced and hidden
This new filtering tool offers two main advantages to the user: silence and invisibility. The messages that are unknown or potentially perceived as harmful are not shown as notification to the user. However, these messages are no longer included in the list of main conversations. Thus, the user gets rid of the distraction and can keep the message box plain.
When the filtering feature is activated, the Messages application requires a clear approval from the user. When approved, the application begins to divide the incoming messages into certain categories. The filter button, which appears in the upper right corner of the screen, offers a regular interface by dividing the messages into four parts. These categories; The messages are listed as unknown senders, spam and the latest deletions.
Although spam messages no longer appear on the home screen, they are not completely lost. The user can access these messages via the filter tab if he wishes. Thus, if there is a significant message accidentally filtered, it is prevented from being overlooked. The small visual sign on the filter button informs the user that it is a new spam message.
Apple also adds flexibility to the filtration system. For unknown sender and spam categories, filtering can be activated separately or disabled. This allows each user to adapt the system according to their needs. Some users may want to completely prevent numbers that they do not know, while some may only want to separate spam messages.
One of the most important aspects of this system is to silence the notifications completely. Thus, the user can continue to use his phone without being disturbed in any way. This makes a big difference, especially during periods of intensifying messages with fraud content. In addition to all these, a safe backup area is created as the messages are not deleted.
The spam message problem has become a common shortage of not only Apple users, but also all mobile users. Increased fake campaigns, deceptive messages sent under the name of the bank and link content from unknown numbers are serious risks. This update on iOS 26 allows users to act more controlled and consciously against these risks.
