# Removing a subscription filter policy in Amazon SNS
<a name="message-filtering-policy-remove"></a>

To stop filtering the messages that are sent to a subscription, remove the subscription's filter policy by overwriting it with an empty JSON body. After you remove the policy, the subscription accepts every message that's published to it.

## Using the AWS Management Console

1. Sign in to the [Amazon SNS console](https://console.aws.amazon.com/sns/home).

1. On the navigation panel, choose **Subscriptions**.

1. Select a subscription and then choose **Edit**.

1. On the **Edit {{EXAMPLE1-23bc-4567-d890-ef12g3hij456}}** page, expand the **Subscription filter policy** section.

1. In the **JSON editor** field, provide an empty JSON body for your filter policy: `{}`.

1. Choose **Save changes**.

   Amazon SNS applies your filter policy to the subscription.
