Apple on Wednesday released iOS 16 beta 2, announcing in the operating system release notes some new SMS filtering features coming to Messages.
Apple had already teased in a WWDC 2022 session that iOS 16 would add 12 new subcategories to the SMS filtering API. With beta 2, they’re now available to developers to use. The company stated that iOS 16 beta 2 “allows developers to classify incoming SMS from unknown numbers into 12 new sub-categories within Transaction and Promotion categories for improved organization.”
In addition, dual-SIM iPhone users can now filter their messages based on their SIMs. They can choose to display “All Lines,” or just its primary or second SIM number.

Android RCS – Really Crap System.
RCS is perfect for Mr AplleBS and his inbred cousin (and unofficial half-brother) AplleCynîc.
Just add the ability to block SMS from anyone not in your contacts. A lot of people don’t message anyone outside of their contacts. It’s an all or nothing approach, but its better than dinking around with filters.
Just make it so Android users don’t force green bubbles on everyone?
