Is my data private and secure?

Yes! All message filtering happens online on our secure servers. Montiguard sends your messages to Montiguard servers for processing, but we have a zero retention policy—we do not store any message-related data. If a message is incorrectly categorized, you can report it for investigation, and we'll only keep it with your explicit consent, after removing any personal data. Your privacy is our top priority.

What types of spam does Montiguard block?

Montiguard uses advanced algorithms to detect and block:

  • Phishing attempts and scam messages
  • Promotional spam and marketing messages
  • Fraudulent schemes and fake offers
  • Suspicious links and malicious content

Can I whitelist trusted contacts?

Yes! Contacts saved in your iPhone's Contacts app are automatically whitelisted and will never be filtered. You can also customize filtering rules in the app settings.

Does Montiguard work with iMessage?

Montiguard filters SMS and iMMessages from unknown senders. Our filter works alongside Apple's native protections.

Is Montiguard free?

Montiguard includes a complimentary 6-day free trial so you can experience all features at no cost. After the trial, you can review our affordable plans on the App Store.

Will Montiguard drain my battery?

No! Montiguard is designed to be extremely efficient. Since all filtering happens online with minimal network requests, the battery impact is minimal.

How do I report a false positive?

If a legitimate message was incorrectly filtered, you can report it through the app or contact our support team at support@montiguard.com
