Despite cell carriers’ best efforts, spam messages are still flooding our phones on a daily basis. Apple might just be coming to the rescue. The iPhone maker is testing out a new developer feature that allows makers of spam filter apps to sort incoming messages into more nuanced categories.
Apple mentioned the new filters in passing during this year’s WWDC, and now we’re getting a first look at how the sub-categories will work in practice. The latest developer beta of iOS 16 that just rolled out in India includes the necessary tools for devs to use the feature, TechCrunch reports. It’s unclear when the feature will be made available worldwide.
