Mobile Security uses a database of fraudulent numbers to flag or block phone calls from known scammers, and to filter text messages from scammers into specific folders. If a call or text from a trusted phone number is flagged, blocked, or incorrectly filtered, you can add the phone number to the Allow list to unblock it.
Only add phone numbers to the Allow list you know are safe.
