To filter SMS in iOS, you can use the new privacy features introduced in iOS 18. Specifically, iOS 18 allows users to lock and hide apps, which can include messaging apps. This feature ensures that the contents of your app are not accessible without authenticating with Face ID, Touch ID, or a passcode first. This includes all entry points, such as tapping on an action from the share sheet. The contents of your app will not appear in other places across the system, like search or notifications, so that others won't inadvertently see sensitive information.

For more details on these privacy features, you can refer to the session What’s new in privacy.
