Android: Block/Group sms notifications from unknown numbers

[ahmed anas]

So this seems to be the first time I'm actually really considering ditching android after a decade and getting iOS.


iOS has a simple feature which groups and mutes notifications of sms from unknown contacts.


Any ways to accomplish this via android?

I checked out apps from the play store. I'm willing to go for a paid app. But the apps I found there were slow as shit and looked like they were made in the 1990's.

Use the truecaller app. The truemessenger feature in it can block spam automatically as well as manually. It also lists spam messages in a seperate folder for you to have a clean sms inbox.

The app gets all your contact data/name and uploads it on their cloud though so beware, Although millions of people are using it.

I think there might be a better alternative, Play Store is full of such apps. With Android the possibilities are endless you know. If someone here has one I'll also be glad to know.
