Escudo: Scam Text Filter

SMS scams stop appearing on your family's phone. Automatic, private, all on device. In English and Spanish.

Fake bank texts, fake delivery fees and fake payment demands stop showing up on your family's phone.

Escudo checks every SMS that arrives from an unknown number and quietly moves the scams aside, right on the device. Nobody has to learn anything, touch anything, or decide anything.

BUILT FOR YOUR PARENTS (AND FOR YOU) Install it once, you or them, in under a minute. From that moment, Escudo works on its own.

NOTHING IS EVER DELETED Filtered messages go to the Junk folder in Messages, not the trash. A real message is never lost and can always be recovered.

TRULY PRIVATE The filter runs entirely on the phone: the extension that reads your messages cannot access the internet. The app downloads updated detection rules, but your messages never leave the device. Escudo has no accounts, asks for no data, and cannot read your conversations.

EMERGENCY GUIDE If someone calls claiming they have a family member, Escudo includes a calm step by step guide: what to do, what not to do and who to call. Escudo never tells you whether a threat is real or fake. It teaches you to verify without putting anyone at risk.

WHAT IT FILTERS AND WHAT IT DOES NOT Escudo acts only on SMS from numbers that are not in your contacts, which is exactly where scams live. Messages from your contacts and your WhatsApp chats are never touched.

FAMILY PLAN Always updated detection rules, a weekly alert on active scams, labeling of community-reported scam calls, and protection for your whole family. Family is an annual auto-renewing subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple account at confirmation of purchase. It renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the period, in your Apple account settings. The basic filter is free forever.

Built in Spanish and English because scam texts in the US come in both. Also available in the United Kingdom
