Hi there! I understand you’re having some trouble with Textkiller not blocking your spam texts anymore. Let's dive into this together.
First, can you tell me if there have been any recent updates to your app or your iPhone's iOS version that might have occurred around the time the issue started? Sometimes updates can reset app settings or impact functionality.
Also, are you receiving texts from the same numbers, or are they coming from different random sources? This could also affect how Textkiller handles the spam.
Let me know, and we can work towards figuring this out!
Texts from all different numbers but from same organizations. I have iOS on iPhone and with the last two oOS updates, the Textkiller app stopped working. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Tried restarting phone. No dice though.
Thanks for the information! Since you've already tried uninstalling and reinstalling Textkiller, as well as restarting your phone, we can check a couple of other steps to help resolve this issue.
1. Check App Permissions: Make sure that Textkiller has the necessary permissions to access Messages. You can do this by going to Settings > Privacy & Security > Messages and ensuring that Textkiller is enabled.
2. Re-enable Textkiller in Messages Settings: It might help to toggle the Textkiller option off and then back on. Go to Settings > Messages > Unknown & Spam and ensure that Textkiller is enabled. After toggling it off briefly, turn it back on again.
3. Check for Software Updates: Even though the app hasn’t been working since the last two iOS updates, there may be a newer update that addresses this bug. Head to Settings > General > Software Update to make sure your device is updated to the latest version.
4. Contact Textkiller Support: If the above steps don’t yield results, reaching out to Textkiller's support team for assistance could be beneficial. Sometimes, they may have specific tips or may need to resolve issues on their end. You can contact them through their official website here.
5. Check Community Discussions: It's also helpful to check community discussions or forums, as other users might be experiencing the same issue. I found some discussions regarding SMS filter apps and suggestions to resolve issues that might help you further. You can explore those here: Apple Support Community and Reddit Discussion.
Give these steps a try and let me know if anything changes!
I'm glad you're willing to try those options! It’s a good idea to explore the help that Textkiller offers directly if those steps don't resolve the issue. You can find more information or reach out to them via their official website: Textkiller Website.
Additionally, if you’re open to alternative apps, you can check the App Store for Textkiller, which has received positive reviews for blocking spam texts effectively—here’s the link: Textkiller - Spam Text Blocker.

Textkiller will not block my spam texts. It worked for about a year, but now doesn’t work. Why?
