iOS 26 Doesn't Just Screen Calls, It Can Screen Text Messages on Your iPhone, Too

Here is a 183-word summary of the news article: Apple's upcoming iOS 26 update for iPhones will introduce a new feature that can screen incoming text messages, in addition to screening phone calls. The new feature aims to combat the growing problem of spam and unwanted messages. With the update, users will have the ability to set their iPhone to automatically filter out and block suspicious text messages, similar to how the existing call screening feature works. This will help reduce the number of spam and scam messages users receive on their devices. The text message screening feature is expected to use machine learning algorithms to analyze the content and sender information of incoming messages, and determine if they are likely to be legitimate or unwanted. Users will also have the option to customize their screening preferences and settings. The addition of text message screening is seen as a significant enhancement to iOS's built-in security and privacy protections, providing iPhone users with more control over their digital communications. The iOS 26 update is anticipated to roll out to the public later this year.
