Securing your iPhone Messages with Spam Arrest

Welcome to Yella! We aim to make your life secure. Studies have shown phishing message scams are on the rise. Bad actors would love to have you share sensitive information (your bank account, credit/debit card info, Social Security data, Telephone#...). The subsequent cost of mistakenly sharing this sensitive data can be severe. This app is built on top of a large, powerful AI engine that has scoured the entire internet. And built a sophisticated model for spotting such scams. These harmful spam messages are moved directly into the Junk folder in the Messages app now. You will not receive a notification on receipt of such spam either.

Spam filtering is only applied to SMS/MMS messages from unknown senders not in your Contacts list. It does not apply to iMessages.
Instructions: After installing the app, go to Settings->Messages->Unknown & Spam. Click on the "Filter Unknown Senders" button. Then choose "Text Spam Arrest" To confirm these settings, now open your Apple Messages app. You should see all the folders we mentioned above.

  • Watch Spam Arrest move a suspicious phishing message from an unknown sender into the Junk folder
