In IOS 26, Apple has introduced functions to Messages, which are aimed at strengthening protection from phishing attacks and spam, 9TO5MAC reports.
Thus, the recycled filtered filtering system has been added. Currently, conversations in the app will be automatically distributed to four categories, messages, unknown sender, spam and recently deleted. The main insert includes correspondence with popular contacts, approval codes and booking information. Notifications received from unknown sender and spam messages will not be displayed in it.
Each category can later adapted through the new "Filter Management" list. Users will be able to manually indicate trusted numbers and recover error filtered messages. Apple clarifies that the classification occurs both automatically and with the help of adjustments by the user.
The update focuses on improving the security of the messages in the "Spam" folder. All links and telephone numbers in them will be automatically illustrated, which will exclude the possibility of accidentally redirecting harmful resources. In addition, the system prohibits answering such messages, which will limit any attempt to interact with potential attackers. If necessary, the user will be able to manually move the message to the main chat and activate the correspondence.
In addition, iOS 26 brings a number of functional improvements, including built-in polls in Chat, including automatic creation of questions through Apple Intelligence. There are also an entry indicators and the opportunity to set a personalized background through both your own gallery and the image Playground image generator.
iOS 26 is currently available in beta version. Complete release of updates is expected in mid-September, immediately after the presentation of the iPhone 17.
