18 Best WordPress Comments Plugins in 2024

By admin March 3, 2024

18 Best WordPress Comments Plugins in 2024, Comments represent the best and the worst of the internet, but we think we all agree that websites would be poorer without them.Websites are supposed to be a two-way street. The owner posts news, reviews and articles and the readership posts their comments. Those comments create a lively community that makes the website more engaging and a nicer place to spend time.
It’s what makes the web such an interesting place to be.

This article is going to highlight 17 of the best comment plugins for WordPress.

To Allow Comments or Not to Allow Comments

If you have used the internet for longer than five minutes, you will already know how divisive comments can be. Some regard comment sections as toxic pools of negativity while others consider them essential to maintain that two-way street.

We are of the latter camp. We consider comments and engagement a key element of running a website and think pages without comments are poorer for them.

We can think of four key reasons why you want to allow comments on your website.

They are:

• Commenting increases engagement – Everyone has an opinion and being able to share your own opinion helps you feel part of the story. It’s an important psychological factor in how people engage with a website.

• Comments keep readers on the page longer – Time on page, or dwell time, is an SEO marker. It helps search engines rank the page for relevance. The longer someone is on a page, the more relevant the page is regarded to be by search engines.

• Some visitors read the comments more than the story – Some audiences will spend more time reading and engaging with comments than they will the article they are commenting on. This is fine as long as they engage!

• You can learn a lot from comments – Writers and publishers who read comments on their work can learn a lot. From points of view they hadn’t thought of to suggestions for alternatives, there is always something new to learn.

We always read our comments because we often come across plugins, themes or WordPress tricks we hadn’t come across before. You are a valuable learning tool and we love you for it!

What to Look for in a Comment Plugin

We look for the same things in WordPress comments plugins as we do in any plugin. It must be easy to use, have a clear goal and clear benefits for use and either be free or reasonably priced.

Specifically for comment plugins, we look for an attractive front end with minimal hurdles to engagement. The more a user has to do to be able to comment, the less likely they are to do so.

We also like to see a clean, simple login system that makes it easy to leave an opinion without leaving your comment section open to spam.

The Best WordPress Comment Plugins

Here’s a quick look at what we feel are some of the best WordPress comments plugins in the market currently. We’ll get to each one of them in detail, later in this article.

Discover the most effective comment plugins for WordPress with comprehensive insights.

1. Jetpack Comments

Jetpack Comments is a modest WordPress comments plugin that bolts on to the very powerful Jetpack plugin. This addon enables users to log in and comment using social media accounts. It is compatible with WordPress.com, Twitter, Facebook, or Google accounts.

Jetpack Comments doesn’t change the comment form, add any other features or change the way comments look and feel but adding social media login is a very useful feature and something we look for in a comment plugin. For that, it is well worth considering.

Pros

• Jetpack is an all-in-one WordPress plugin that has several features that a website requires

• Users can log in with their social media accounts to post a comment

• Slots seamlessly into the larger Jetpack plugin

• Works seamlessly with most WordPress themes

• It’s free

Cons

• Jetpack comes with a lot of features, some of which you may already be using with an alternate plugin. This could create conflict with the existing plugins. If all you want is a comments plugin, this may not be the best bet

Pricing

Jetpack Comments is included within the free Jetpack plugin.

2. Simple Comment Editing

Simple Comment Editing has one key feature we liked enough to give it a place in our list of best comment plugins for WordPress. It has a neat cooldown function that gives the commenter five minutes to add, edit or change their comment before it’s published.

The basic plugin is free and works very well. It doesn’t require any configuration, just plug and play. You can hide the timer from users or show it, you can enable email notifications for comment updates and disable comment deletion.

There are customization options but they are basic unless you know CSS.

Pros

• Easy to install and implement

• Provides a window of 5 minutes to edit your comments before getting published

• Advanced customization is possible with the paid version, which is free for a single site

• Simple plug and play operation

• It’s free

Cons

• Limited customization options

Pricing

The plugin is free to use.

3. CommentLuv

CommentLuv is both a WordPress comments plugin and an SEO plugin. It provides a slight upgrade to the native comments section by adding a reason for adding your website when commenting. The plugin will then provide a link to the latest blog and an optional backlink using ‘dofollow’.

Backlinks are a significant driver for commenting, so if you’re trying to build a lively community, adding ‘dofollow’ to comment links is an effective way to kickstart a new community.

You will have to watch how it works and moderate it carefully. Too many links and your site may be flagged as spam!

Pros

• Simple installation process

• Several advanced features that include and are not limited to Twitter link integration, displaying a top commentator widget, and more

• By being a part of the CommentLuv community, you get to build on some backlinks

• A smart feature by which your last blog post gets retrieved and included below your submitted comment

• Option of follow or nofollow

Cons

• The plugin hasn’t been updated in a while. You may need to check on compatibility with the latest WordPress versions

Pricing

CommentLuv is free to use. The premium version is not currently available.

4. Disqus Comment System

Disqus is probably the best-known WordPress comments plugin in the world and powers comments on many large websites. It’s a hosted solution that uses the cloud to provide the resources to manage comments. It’s a very flexible system that uses an API to link your comments section with the Disqus platform to keep everything tidy.

Disqus is good because a single login means you can comment on any site that uses it without having to login again. There is also the option to use social media to log in. It does have a slight downside in that logging in is mandatory, so anonymous commenting is out.

Pros

• Blends in seamlessly with your website design

• Liven up your comments by including rich media, such as images and videos

• Option to monetize your comments section

• An intuitive panel to moderate comments

• Automated spam moderation

Cons

• The free basic plan is pretty limited in its functionality. To experience all the features of the plugin, you’ll have to sign up for a paid subscription that starts at $12 per month, all the way to $115 per month.

Pricing

Disqus has a free option that is ad-supported and some premium options that are not.

5. Thrive Comments

Thrive Comments is a comment plugin from the people behind Thrive Themes. It’s a powerful plugin that adds gamification to commenting with votes, badges, and comment sharing. Social networks are built on this gamification so its efficacy is well known. You can now use those tools for your own benefit with this plugin.

Thrive Comments also allows social media login, share prompts to get commenters to share on their social networks and replaces the native comment section with a new and better looking one.

If you’re the analytics type, there is also the ability to measure lots of metrics around your comments too.

Pros

• Helps create an engaged community by allowing visitors to like and upvote comments

• Engages frequent visitors with earn badges

• Comments get shared on social media

• Turn comments into conversions by redirecting the commenters to a URL, or any other appropriate CTA

• Sort all your comments through a very intuitive Comment Moderation Dashboard

Cons

• The Thrive Comments plugin is part of the entire Thrive Suite. To use the comments plugin, you’ll have to pick up the entire suite, which comes with a builder, Automator, quiz builder, and many more.

Pricing

Thrive Comments works to $19 per month if purchased annually and can be used on 25 websites.

6. WpDevArt Facebook Comments

WpDevArt Facebook Comments is a WordPress comments plugin that allows users to leave comments on your website using their Facebook logins. It helps increase engagement by allowing anyone logged into Facebook to comment and by integrating comments on Facebook into your website comment section.

It’s a great idea if your target audience are Facebook users. It’s easy to set up, works seamlessly with both Facebook and WordPress, and makes it super-easy to leave a comment which should help increase engagement.

It isn’t the most attractive comment section in the world but for engagement, it’s hard to beat.

Pros

• A user-friendly plugin that is easy to set up

• Works seamlessly with other popular themes and plugins

• You can display comments from Facebook on your WordPress site

• Customize elements such as title color, font size, and font family

• Possibility of including animation effect to your Facebook comments box

Cons

• Considering it’s exclusive to Facebook users, you may be restricting comments from users who don’t have a Facebook account

Pricing

WpDevArt Facebook Comments is free with three premium plans from $10 up to $31 per year.

7. wpDiscuz

wpDiscuz is a complete WordPress comments plugin. It provides a new look for the comment section, allows inline comments, live notifications of comments and updates, has a post ratings feature, social media integration, rich editor, supports media, and uses reCAPTCHA to help reduce spam.

We consider wpDiscuz the best comment plugin for WordPress in terms of looks, value, and ease of use. You have different styles to choose from, comments lazy load which helps site performance but also looks cool.

It also has a full reporting tool with graphs and metrics if that’s your thing.

Pros

• Choose different layouts for different pages and posts

• With an exciting new Inline Commenting and Feedback feature, you can get your readers to reply to your questions while reading an article.

• Include a sticky comment icon anywhere on your web page using Comment Bubble

• Users can rate your articles without leaving comments

• Log in via social media accounts are possible

Cons

• Support can take time to respond

Pricing

wpDiscuz is completely free although there is an optional addon bundle at $99.

8. Yoast Comment Hacks

Yoast is one of our favourite SEO plugins and we recommend it frequently. We are now going to do the same with Yoast Comment Hacks. It’s called ‘hacks’ because it uses the native WordPress comment section and tweaks it a little bit to provide some extra features.

Those features include a default minimum comment length to help avoid spam, an email link to reply directly to commenters, a redirect to thank first-time commenters, the ability to change the parent comment and implement a new, clean design for notification emails.

Yoast Comment Hacks isn’t as fully-featured as some of these other WordPress comments plugins but what it does, it does well.

It’s free too.

Pros

• A simple notification email with the option to approve or disapprove the comments

• Disallow comments based on their length

• Redirect first-time commenters to a thank you page

• Easily email all commenters on a post by clicking a button in the toolbar

• It’s free

Cons

• Limited on the customization front

Pricing

Yoast Comment Hacks is free to use.

9. Akismet

Akismet is probably the best-known WordPress comment plugin around. Partly because it comes installed with the CMS but also because it’s very good at what it does.

Akismet helps filter spam comments so you don’t have to. It links to the Akismet global spam database so it can filter out known spammers. It won’t replace admin moderation but it goes a long way in reducing the workload for busy websites.

Akismet uses the native WordPress comments section but keeps it clean very effectively. Well worth using if your current comment plugin doesn’t filter spam.

Pros

• Easy to activate and implement

• Akismet is a smart plugin that has its own spam filtering algorithm

• Comes with WordPress

• Easy to set up and use

• It’s free

Cons

• In some cases, legit comments are marked as spam if the commenter participates on multiple forums and blogs

Pricing

Akismet has a free option and premium options at $10 and $50 per month.

10. Comment Approved

Comment Approved is a simple plugin that adds an email notification option to any user who leaves a comment on your website. It adds an extra step in the native comments section in WordPress with a checkbox that can be checked to send an email once the comment has been approved.

You can also create a boilerplate response to thank the user for leaving the comment and hopefully encourage them to leave more comments.

Pros

• A simple plugin that’s easy to use

• Send customized notification to users who’ve left comments on your site

• Boilerplate responses to save time

• It’s free

Cons

• While the plugin hasn’t been updated in a while, it still worked fine when we tested.

Pricing

Comment Approved is free to use.

11. GraphComment

GraphComment is another fully-featured WordPress comments plugin that transforms the way comments are handled. It’s a cloud solution similar to Disqus that includes guest commenting, customization options for the comment section, gamification elements with badges, social media login and a very usable dashboard for managing and moderating comments.

GraphComment also uses structured data for comments for SEO benefit and has voting options to help increase engagement and the quality of the comments. All data is stored on GraphComment servers but the plugin includes tools to copy all data to your WordPress database.

Pros

• Guest commenting is possible

• Easily manage all your comments from the WordPress dashboard

• Completely responsive and optimized for mobile devices

• Auto-sync comments to WP database

• Real-time notifications for your pending comments

Cons

• With limited features in the free option, you’ll want to upgrade to the paid version

Pricing

GraphComment is a very polished plugin with a free option and two premium plans at $7 and $74 per month.

12. Lazy Load for Comments

Lazy Load for Comments is another simple WordPress comments plugin that does one thing well. In this case, the clue is in the name. This plugin is designed to help improve page load speeds and reduce server requests.

It does this by not loading the comments section until the user gets to it and begins reading. This means far fewer requests and a more responsive page. Simple but very effective.

Lazy Load for Comments works with most WordPress themes such as Astra and requires a single setting in the dashboard to work its magic.

Pros

• Easy to install

• Improve page load speed by loading comments only when required

• Reduce server requests

• Translation ready

• Developer friendly

Cons

• Limited customization options. You will have to be familiar with coding to make changes

Pricing

Lazy Load for Comments is free to use.

13. No Page Comment

No Page Comment is another simple but very effective WordPress comments plugin. This plugin lets you take back control of comments by adding a dashboard that lets you enable or disable comments on posts, pages, and media anywhere on your website.

No Page Comment also lets you control comments on new posts, pages, and media as well as existing ones. You can disable comments site-wide, enable them and enable or disable trackbacks.

WordPress has basic commands for enabling or disabling comments but this plugin takes that much further.

Pros

• Easy to install and activate

• Enable or disable comments anywhere on your website

• Monitor and control comments on your website

• Works with other comment plugins

• It’s free

Cons

• The plugin hasn’t been updated in a while

• Custom post types on certain themes or plugins may not display the comments.

Pricing

No Page Comment is free to use.

14. Replyable

Replyable is one of two WordPress comment plugins from the same developer, with the other being Postmatic, which comes next. Replyable takes the ‘subscribe to comments’ option and turns it up to 11.

Rather than bombard commenters with every single reply, Replyable uses machine learning to filter them and only alert on the most relevant. This improves engagement by only highlighting worthy comments. Users can also reply via email, although you may not want to use that as you want them to return.

The plugin can also collate multiple comments into a single email so users are actively engaged while not having their time wasted. It’s a very smart WordPress comments plugin that overcomes one of the most annoying elements of commenting on websites.

Pros

• Users can subscribe to comments

• You can reply to new comment notifications from desktop or mobile

• Responsive templates that look great on both desktop and mobile devices

• Users can choose to receive direct responses to their comments

• Automatic pausing of subscriptions on posts that has too many comments

Cons

• The plugin hasn’t been updated for some time

Pricing

Replyable costs from $2.99 per month up to $9.99 per month.

15. Postmatic

Postmatic concentrates more on delivering content than making comments more convenient. It’s a different take on commenting as it enables you to reply to comments or add comments via email.

Leave a comment on a website, get notified of replies via email, and reply to the reply directly from that email. Simple but very effective. You can also send content, comment digests, newsletters, and a whole lot more.

Postmatic will also integrate with lead generation tools for extra engagement. Although it’s no Convert Pro, it has some useful engagement features you can use for popups and opt-ins.

Pros

• Reply to comments or add comments via email

• Send email digests of your best content, be it posts, or even comments, automatically

• Use layouts that adapt to your active WordPress theme

• Works well with other WordPress plugins

• Helps engagement as well as comments

Cons

• Monthly plans are a little on the higher side

Pricing

Postmatic costs from $20 per month up to $95 per month.

16. ReplyBox

ReplyBox is one of the best comment plugins for WordPress in this list for handling privacy. It works a bit like Disqus but doesn’t use ads, doesn’t collect personal data, and doesn’t use you for monetization. For that alone, we recommend it.

ReplyBox is a hosted platform with a tiny API of less than 100KB. It uses attractive comment templates, integrates with Akismet, uses markdown for emojis, has nested comments for easy navigation, social media login, custom CSS options and works with most WordPress themes like Astra.

ReplyBox is one of our favorite WordPress comment plugins. Not necessarily because of the features but because of its insistence on privacy.

Pros

• Lightweight and loads fast

• Built for privacy and doesn’t monetize user data

• ReplyBox uses Akismet to keep spammers away

• Moderate all new comments with a simple and effective approval system

• Login using Google or Twitter

• Import and sync existing comments easily

Cons

• More sign-in options required

Pricing

ReplyBox costs from $6 per month up to $26 per month.

17. Subscribe to Comments Reloaded

Subscribe to Comments Reloaded seeks to tackle the thorny issue of subscribing to comments. It makes it easy for users to control what comments they subscribe to, provides a quick way to unsubscribe, and controls what they are notified about.

Subscribe to Comments Reloaded also includes double opt-in for compliance and a one-click unsubscribe option within notification emails. There is also a very straightforward subscription dashboard where users can control their subscriptions and quickly follow or unfollow conversations.

It’s a concise but usable WordPress comments plugin.

Pros

• Easily manage your subscriptions

• Customize the messages using a WYSIWYG text editor

• Choose to disable subscriptions for specific posts

• One-click unsubscribe

• It’s free

Cons

• Design and customization will leave you wanting more

Pricing

Subscribe to Comments Reloaded is free to use.

Summary

A website without a thriving community is just not very engaging and nobody wants that. Creating a community is the number one goal of many websites, yet many seem content to use the basic WordPress comments feature.

You can do better than that.

Any of these comment plugins for WordPress takes that basic function and improves upon it. Some do one thing well while others offer multiple features. All can help you build a thriving community for your website.

Best WhatsApp Alternative Apps You Can Use In 2024

By admin February 28, 2024

Best WhatsApp Alternative Apps You Can Use In 2024, Facebook-owned WhatsApp Messenger is the most popular messaging app on the planet. The company releases new features regularly to ensure it remains on top. However, people have different tastes and not everyone may like how WhatsApp works or looks both internally and externally.

Meta-owned WhatsApp has a policy and it makes it clear that the company collects lots of telemetry data from your device. Hence, if you are someone who wants to move on to a more personal or secure messaging app, here are the 12 best WhatsApp alternative apps you can use in 2024.

1. Telegram Messenger

Telegram Messenger has been known as the best WhatsApp competitor for a while now and nothing’s changed. The open-source messaging app is still the best WhatsApp alternative out there. Along with the usual messaging features that both WhatsApp and Telegram pack, the latter brings other features like supergroups of up to 100,000 people, public channels, usernames, the ability to share files of up to 2 GB, passcode lock, self-destructing messages and end-to-end encryption in secret chat among other things.

Then, there are Telegram Bots, which really enhance the experience. The bots not only bring you important info on the go but there are several game bots that let you play games inside the messaging app. Other than that, unlike WhatsApp, Telegram can be used on multiple platforms at once, so you can start texting on your phone and then continue it on your PC. I also love the voice call feature here which works quite well.

Availability: Android, iOS, Windows Phone, Windows, macOS, Linux, Web (Free)

2. Signal Private Messenger

Signal Foundation, the organization that powers the end-to-end encryption technology in WhatsApp Messenger and Facebook Messenger, offers its very own messaging app dubbed Signal Private Messenger. As you’d expect, Signal brings a number of security benefits when compared to WhatsApp. It offers self-destructing messages, screen security (prevents anyone from taking screenshots), and more.

Plus, Signal brings encryption to its backups, calls, group calls, and every other data in the app. Even the files that you send using Signal are protected. Furthermore, according to Apple’s App Store listing, Signal doesn’t link any data to your identity.

It’s a great app for anyone who wants to securely converse with other users. That’s why, Signal is quite popular with journalists. Signal Private Messenger is for people who are looking for a simple and secure messaging app and if you are looking for something like that, it is the best WhatsApp alternative for you.

Availability: Android, iOS (Free)

3. Discord

Discord is no longer just a platform for chatting with your fellow gamers. While you can explore a variety of Discord servers to engage with your interests, Discord’s DM functionality is often overlooked by many. You can use Discord’s personal messages feature to send messages, emojis, emotes (if you have Discord Nitro), GIFs, images, and even documents. Furthermore, you can make voice calls, video calls, or even browse together after sharing your screen.

Combined with neat integrations from Spotify, Twitch, YouTube, Battle.net, Steam, Reddit, Facebook, Twitter, Xbox Live, and GitHub, Discord has got you covered for all your messaging needs and is arguably better than WhatsApp.

You can also create group chats on Discord with a total of 10 members. If you need more capacity, you can always create a server. If you ask me, I’d recommend uninstalling WhatsApp right away and installing Discord. You will find the link to download Discord below and I can assure you that you won’t regret the decision.

Availability: Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, Linux, Web (Free)

4. Messages by Google

This might be an odd one but hear us out! Google’s RCS messaging service has improved by leaps and bounds since it was first introduced. Although it may not be the most widely available service in the world and is limited to just Android users, almost every Android device should have this feature. Just download the Google Messages app, go to the settings, and enable RCS (Rich Communication Services).

RCS is a secure way of sending messages across devices; messages sent with RCS are encrypted and can carry more information across than SMS, and the Google Messages app comes tailored with lots of handy dandy features such as smart replies, stickers, GIFs, suggested actions, and integrates very well with GBoard. The one major con of RCS comes due to Apple not adapting the service despite multiple jabs from Google. This means if the party on the other side uses an iPhone, your messages would be sent as regular SMS.

Availability: Android, Windows, Web (Free)

5. Bridgefy

One of the main problems with online messaging apps like WhatsApp is that they rely on an internet connection to work. And if you are out camping in the woods even the normal text messaging apps will not work. That’s where offline messaging apps come into play. These apps don’t require a mobile network or internet connection to work.

Rather, they create a peer-to-peer Bluetooth mesh network or Wi-Fi direct-based network on your phone and allow you to send messages to your nearby friends. If you are looking for such an app then you should use Bridgefy. Bridgefy offers three main types of messaging services; Person-to-Person mode, Broadcast mode, and Mesh mode.

You can send messages to a friend, broadcast them to the entire group, and even use users as nodes to send messages to long distances. It is quite helpful during music festivals, sports events, natural disasters, and other such situations where you won’t be getting reliable mobile service.

In fact, Bridgefy and other such apps have become a bastion for protesters around the world as they allow them to evade internet censorship imposed by their governments. The app is free to download and use and is the best offline WhatsApp alternative in my opinion. You should check it out.

Install: Android (free), iOS (free)

6. Kik

Kik is a great messaging app for users who don’t want to use their number to operate a messaging application. While chat services like WhatsApp require users to use their number, I know many users who are not comfortable with sharing their personal numbers to these platforms.

For those users, Kik is a great service as it only requires you to use your email ID. Once you sign up for the service using your email ID, Kik will create a unique user name for you which you can share with other Kik users to chat.

The best part about using Kik is that you are not losing out on any messaging features. You still get access to all the important features including text messages, emojis, stickers, Gifs, photo sharing, video sharing, and group chats among other things.

Another unique feature of Kik is that it supports bots which is something that you do not get on WhatsApp. Using bots you can play quizzes, get fashion tips, the latest news, and more. That said, the main USP of Kik remains its non-requirement of a phone number and if that’s something you want, definitely check it out.

Availability: Android, iOS (Free)

7. Snapchat

While Snapchat technically is not just a messaging app but rather a social media app, I use it more and more as a messaging application thanks to some unique features that no other messaging application can offer. For example, I can send messages which can self-destruct after a set period of time. It also notifies me when someone takes a screenshot of my chats with them. Finally, it offers the best face mask collection of all the apps that I have ever used which makes this app fun to use.

Other messaging features are also here such as the ability to create group chats, voice calls, group voice calls, gifs, and more. I also love Snapchat because it is one of the most innovative chat services on the market. The features that users on WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger normally enjoy are generally copied from Snapchat. So, if you want to access these cool features and be the first to receive the latest chat features, Snapchat is the app to use.

Availability: Android, iOS (Free)

8. Skype

Skype is without a doubt one of the best business chat applications out there that you can use right now. With the power of Microsoft behind it, Skype has left all the other business chat applications in the dust. However, that progress has worked against Skype when it comes to personal chats as the business moniker that it has earned keeps normal users away. But let me tell you that Skype is one of the best chatting applications on the market especially if you make a lot of video and voice calls.

I especially find Skype useful when I am using it to make overseas calls as the sound and video quality on Skype is far better than its competition. I also love Skype for its group video call functionality.

While most other apps don’t support group video calls, the ones that do often lag when you add more than three to four people. If you are someone who makes a ton of video calls with their friends and family, I can certainly recommend Skype over WhatsApp or any such chat application.

Availability: Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, Web (Free)

9. Keybase

Keybase is an open-source secure chat application, which is great for users who want to communicate securely. Since this is an open-source app, there’s no private company that is looking at all your data. Anyways the data is end-to-end encrypted so at no point in time, the message is exposed to nefarious actors.

The app doesn’t even allow you to take the screenshot of the chats. The messaging app works more like Slack than WhatsApp, however, it’s not aimed at businesses. Rather, it is mainly targeting users who are concerned with their online privacy.

My favorite feature of Keybase is that you don’t need anyone’s number or email ID to connect with them. This allows you to remain in contact with users whom you don’t want to share your personal information with. Finally, this is one of the few messaging apps that offer a native application for the Linux operating system. If you value your privacy, you should definitely check it out.

Availability: Android, iOS, macOS, Linux, and Windows (Free)

10. Viber

Viber is another popular messaging and VoIP app that really stands toe-to-toe with WhatsApp when it comes to features. Firstly, the app offers end-to-end encryption in calls, messages, and shared media. Moreover, the messages saved on multiple devices are also encrypted, which brings us to the fact that the messaging apps pack in multi-device support, which WhatsApp lacks.

Like WhatsApp, Viber lets you make video and voice calls but the app goes one step ahead with its Viber Out feature, which lets you make international calls to non-Viber users at nominal rates.

Talking about the messaging features, Viber includes support for stickers, file sharing, last seen, voice & video messages, public accounts, backup to Google Drive, and more. There is also a sticker store and Viber games, which are basically games you can play inside Viber. If you consider everything, you’ll notice that Viber is an app that is very similar to WhatsApp. It packs in most of the features from WhatsApp and then some more.

Availability: Android, iOS, Windows Phone, Windows (Free, with rates for Viber Out)

11. Session

Session is another great contender for one of the best WhatsApp alternatives if your priority is securing messaging. It is a privacy-focused messaging app that promises no metadata and only messages. The open-source app encrypts messaging as well as calls to ensure that nobody has access to your messages on the internet. Session uses Libsodium cryptography to encrypt your chats and its public keys are stored locally on your device.

You don’t need an email or mobile number to start using the messaging app. All the messages on the app are sent via a decentralized onion-routing network similar to Tor. Despite being a privacy-focused app, Session’s user interface is quite customizable with themes and dark mode. You get groups, video calls, voice messages, attachments, voice calls and even group calling functionality on this WhatsApp replacement app.

Availability: Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, Linux (Free)

12. LINE

Another WhatsApp alternative you can use is LINE, which is a highly popular cross-platform messaging app that packs in a ton of features. Like WhatsApp, the app features end-to-end encryption, support for voice and video calls & messages, and more.

It also brings quite a few unique features when compared to WhatsApp like LINE Out (lets you make international calls to non-LINE users), a sticker store, a cool Keep feature (lets you save your favorite messages, photos, etc.), and more. It also features a timeline in the app, where you can see any status updates and photo changes from your friends.

Other useful features of LINE include passcode lock, filter messages, themes, LINE Pay for payments, and more. There’s no doubt that LINE is a very capable and feature-rich messaging app, however, it does feel a little bloated. So, fans of WhatsApp’s simplicity might not like LINE much but if you aren’t bothered by that, you should give LINE a shot.

How to stop spam texts on iPhone and Android phones 2024

By admin February 23, 2024

How to stop spam texts on iPhone and Android phones 2024, Everyone from legitimate marketers to outright scammers wants to get your attention these days. With a mobile phone in nearly every pocket, many of these have turned to SMS text messages as a way to extend their reach. After all, it’s a fast means of communication that’s much more likely to be noticed than traditional email messages. Plus, there aren’t nearly as many spam filtering solutions available for dealing with text messages, making them ripe for abuse. Here, we explore your options for reducing spam, depending on your phone type.

Regardless of your smartphone platform of choice, the first rule of dealing with suspicious text messages is the same as for email: Don‘t interact with them in any way. Don’t reply to a spam text, even if it seems like there’s a valid “opt-out” option, as you’ll just be confirming your existence. And definitely don’t click on any links in a text, as some of these can lead to sites that will try to install malware on your phone. Contrary to popular belief, smartphones aren’t immune to such things. Instead, check out our guides below for ways in which you can deal with unwanted text messages.

Looking for tips on how to stop spam calls instead? See our guide on how to stop spam calls on iPhone and Android phones!

How to report spam texts on an iPhone

While it’s nearly impossible to avoid text message spam entirely, you can help cut down on it by reporting spam texts to your carrier and Apple. Thankfully, Apple has made this very easy to do in iOS 16 with a one-tap reporting feature. This can also be used to report the rare bit of text spam that comes through Apple’s iMessage service, but it’s best at helping you report SMS/MMS spam — as long as your carrier supports it. Here’s how to do this.

Step 1: Open the Messages app on your phone.

Step 2: Select a conversation that contains a spam text.

Step 3: Select the blue Report Junk link below the most recent message. As long as your carrier supports it, this should appear for any conversation for which the sender is not in your contact list, and to which you have not replied.

Step 4: Select Delete and Report Junk from the pop-up that appears at the bottom of your screen.

*Note that this does not automatically prevent future spam texts from this messager, but you can block the number manually. We’ll explain how to do that in the next section. *

How to stop spam texts on iPhone and Android phones 2024

How to block spam texts on an iPhone

You can block any number to prevent text messages from that number from getting through to your phone. Spam texts often come from a wide assortment of seemingly random numbers, so it probably isn’t worth your time to block every single one, but this can be handy if a large number of unwanted texts are coming in from the same number.

Step 1: Open the Messages app on your phone.

Step 2: Select a conversation that contains a spam text.

Step 3: Select the icon with the number at the top of the conversation.

Step 4: Select the Info button from the card that appears.

Step 5: Select Block this Caller at the bottom of the next screen. 

Step 6: From the pop-up that appears, select Block Contact to confirm.

This will block both texts and phone calls from the selected number — including FaceTime audio and video calls. Incoming cellular calls will be sent to voicemail, FaceTime calls will be ignored, and texts will be silently discarded. Note that texts coming in from a blocked number cannot be recovered even if you later unblock the number.

 You can view and manage your list of blocked contacts in the iPhone Settings app under Messages > Blocked Contacts.

How to filter spam messages on iPhone

You can automatically filter out messages from unknown senders — those not in your contacts list. Filtered messages will still appear in the Messages app, but they’ll be grouped into their own folder. You can also disable notifications for messages from unknown senders so they won’t disturb you or light up a badge on your Messages app icon. Here’s how to set this up:

Step 1: Open the Settings app on your iPhone.

Step 2: Scroll down and select Messages.

Step 3: Scroll down and find Filter Unknown Senders and select the switch to toggle it on.

Step 4: To also disable notifications for messages from unknown senders, scroll back up and select Notifications near the top of the Messages settings.

Step 5: Select Customize Notifications at the bottom.

Step 6: Toggle Unknown Senders off. Note that this setting only applies to notifications on your iPhone; you’ll need to turn it on separately on your iPad or Mac if you’re syncing your text messages to those devices.

Step 7: Once you’ve enabled the option to Filter Unknown Senders, a new Filters option will appear in the top-left corner of the conversation view in the Messages app. Selecting this will allow you to choose between viewing all messages or filtering the list by either known or unknown senders. There are also options here to filter by unread messages and view recently deleted conversations.

Step 8: Note that Apple considers any active conversation you’ve replied to as coming from a known sender, even if the number isn’t listed in your contacts. If you’ve replied to a spam text and want to revert that number to being treated as an unknown sender, you’ll need to permanently delete the conversation:  

1.In the Messages app, swipe to the left on the conversation you would like to delete and continue swiping until you feel some haptic feedback and see the red banner expand all the way across the screen.

2.Select Delete from the pop-up that appears.

3.Select Filters from the top-left corner.

4.Select Recently Deleted.

5.Choose the conversation you just deleted. A blue checkmark should appear on the left side to indicate it’s selected.

6.Select Delete from the bottom-left corner.

7.Choose Delete Message to confirm.

How to block spam texts on Android via Google Messages

Blocking spam texts on Android can be trickier since just about every handset maker has its own take on the operating system, which often includes its own app for handling text messages. Thankfully, the most popular smartphone makers have more recently standardized on Google Messages. Here’s how to block spam there:

Step 1: Open the Messages by Google app on your phone.

Step 2: Select your profile picture or initials in the top-right corner.

Step 3: Select Messages settings.

Step 4: Scroll down and select Spam protection.

Step 5: Select the toggle beside Enable spam protection to turn it on.

Messages that are identified as spam will go into a Spam & blocked folder that can be accessed from the three-line hamburger menu in the top-left corner of the Messages app (the one with three lines on top of each other).

How to report spam texts on Android

Unfortunately, enabling spam protection for the first time won’t scan your existing messages, meaning any messages you’ve already received will remain exactly where they are. However, you can manually report these as spam. Further, since Google’s algorithms aren’t perfect, some spam messages will slip through. Manual reporting will move these to the spam filter and help train your phone to better recognize similar patterns in the future. Here’s how to do this.

Step 1: Open a spam message in the Messages app on your phone.

Step 2: Select Report spam.

Step 3: Select the box beside Block to block the number permanently as well.

Step 4: Choose the Report spam button.

Step 5: Select the back arrow in the top-left corner to return to your message list. The reported conversation will no longer appear on the main list since it’s been moved to the “Spam & blocked” folder.

Step 6: You can also report a message as spam without opening it by long-selecting it in the Messages app and choosing the Block option from the three-dot menu in the top-right corner. This shows a pop-up box with the opposite behavior of the Report spam option; it blocks the message by default, with a separate checkbox to optionally report it as spam.

Other tools for stopping spam texts

Apple and Google both provide “hooks” in their messaging platforms that allow third-party apps to scan your incoming text messages to try to determine if they’re spam before passing them on to your phone. As a result, a number of developers have taken up the challenge of trying to build better anti-spam filtering than what Apple and Google’s messaging apps offer on their own.

These range from dedicated apps like Truecaller to more full-featured security suites like Malwarebytes for iPhone or Android.

If you opt for a third-party app, be sure to read the company’s privacy policies very carefully. By necessity, these apps need to scan your text messages to do their job, and that’s usually done by sending copies of the messages from your device to that company’s servers. Thankfully, Apple and Google offer some protections against this turning into a free-for-all on your messaging data, such as only allowing access to messages from unknown senders, but there are still privacy trade-offs with any of these apps, and some apps require that you expose more of your data, such as uploading your entire contact list to their servers.

How to identify a spam text

Traditional spam texts are usually pretty easy to spot, as they’re typically trying to sell you something. These are also fairly easy to ignore, but of course, the reporting and blocking options we explained above will help you filter out some of the noise.

Sadly, there’s a more insidious category of spam texts that fall more into the category of scams. These are most commonly used for phishing attacks designed to steal your passwords or make you give up other personal information. They’re often disguised as alerts from your bank or other financial institution, a government agency such as the IRS, or even just an online service like Amazon, Google, Facebook, or Apple’s iCloud. They can also appear in other forms such as job offers. Some of these phishing scams can even be used to install malware on your phone.

In every case, these messages should be considered highly suspect and treated with extreme caution. Do NOT click on any links in these messages, as they’ll usually just lead you to a fake website that looks just real enough to convince you to enter a password or credit card number to “confirm your identity.” If you’re worried one of your online accounts may be compromised, open a separate browser window and visit it directly by typing in the address rather than clicking on a link in an email or text message.

There’s another category of spam/scam texts that have been making the rounds in recent years that may seem much more innocuous on the surface. Rather than offering up links or alerts, these are incoming messages are phrased in such a way to make you think somebody simply sent a text to your number by mistake. They can begin with everything from a simple greeting to a message that looks like it’s following up on a referral or another conversation, such as the examples shown in the screenshots above about a “golfing party tomorrow” or “a pet dog for sale.”

These are almost never real texts. Instead, they’re designed to draw the recipient in to a conversation with a scammer as a form of “social engineering” attack. Many folks will be tempted to respond either out of curiosity or a genuine desire to be helpful by letting the person know they have the wrong number. The scammer will then try to engage you with some friendly banter that will ultimately lead to a request for some kind of help that will involve clicking a link they provide or sending them some money.

It’s usually easy to recognize these messages by the numbers they come from — folks in South Carolina or San Bernardino aren’t likely to be legitimately mistyping a Toronto number asking about a pet dog for sale or announcing a golfing party.
