Apple fixes 2 security vulnerabilities on iPhone, iPad & Mac
Apple has released software updates for iOS, iPadOS, and macOS to address two zero-day security vulnerabilities.
Truecaller on Tuesday announced the addition of a new spam-filtering feature for iOS app that will filter out SMS and MMS spam from iMessage and send them to a junk tab.
The feature works similar to junk email, which is filtered into a designated spam folder. Now, users would no longer have to waste time deleting unwanted messages manually from the device.
“Now, iPhone users will have a powerful tool to automatically filter junk and spam SMS, which has been highly requested by our users,” said Rishit Jhunjhunwala, Vice President of Product, Truecaller, in a statement.

Truecaller claims that it blocks more than 100 million spam SMS and text messages each week globally. On a weekly basis, approximately 82 million spam texts or SMS are received by the Indian users, out of which 24 million are automatically blocked, the company said.
“The new version of Truecaller optimized for iOS 11 will help you identify potential spam SMS and MMS messages. If you are familiar with the setup previously for Spam Call protection we launched for iOS 10, then setting up SMS message filtering will be a piece of cake!”, noted Trucaller on its blog.
Recently, Truecaller released Flash Messaging and Google Duo powered video calling. The app has been used by more than 250 million users globally.
