Junkman – Smart SMS Blocker APK is a powerful SMS filtering app for iOS. It can automatically classify incoming messages as normal, junk, transaction or promotion using machine learning. Old messages will not be classified. The app works locally on your device without an internet connection. It effectively filters unwanted texts like promotions, gambling, scams and political messages.
Junkman's core is a state-of-the-art machine learning algorithm called Smart Filter. It is trained on thousands of English and Turkish messages, enabling it to understand message contents. The Smart Filter instantly distinguishes between normal conversations, transactions like banking OTPs or shipping, and junk promotions or unsolicited texts. All promotion messages are treated as junk.
Junkman also has an Aggressive Filter for the most intrusive junk messages, eliminating the need for Smart Filter in some cases.
Classification by Smart Filter and Aggressive Filter can be overridden by adding rules to the app's Safe, Junk, Transaction and Promotion lists. Complex rules using regular expressions are supported.
For non-English/Turkish texts, the Smart Filter can be disabled and messages managed solely through rule lists. The Aggressive Filter will still function.
Rule lists allow more powerful rules than many apps, considering sender and content. Regular expressions can be used simply. The lists are also easier to manage than competitors.
Wrong Smart Filter classifications in the Messages app (iPhone) can be reported for review, improving performance over time.
