# Setup SMS Filtering

The ScamShield app will only filter SMSes on iOS or notify SMSes on Android when:

1. The sender ID or phone number of the message is suspected as scam by authorities. Phone numbers will only be blocked by authorities if they are deemed suspicious.
2. The message content is detected as potentially a scam by the ScamShield AI classifier.
