Systems and methods for selective filtering of inbound mobile communications

A non-transitory computer-readable medium that stores instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the processor to perform a method comprising:

• receiving, at a mobile computing device, a contact whitelist comprising a first one or more contacts, each contact associated with one or more identifiers;
• activating an operating mode of the mobile computing device, the operating mode for filtering inbound communications to the mobile computing device based on the contact whitelist;
• receiving, at the mobile computing device, a first inbound communication;
• responsive to determining that a first identifier associated with the first inbound communication does not correspond to an identifier associated with any of the one or more contacts in the contact whitelist, filtering the first inbound communication;
• receiving, at the mobile computing device, a second inbound communication;
• and
• responsive to determining that a second identifier associated with the second inbound communication corresponds to an identifier associated with at least one of the one or more contacts in the contact whitelist, allowing the second inbound communication.
