Messages: SMS Text Messaging

Your inbox, finally organized.

Messages replaces your default texting app and does the work you have been doing by hand:
it flags spam before you see it, pulls every verification code to the top, sorts bills,
deliveries and bank alerts into their own place, and adds the tools a texting app should
have had years ago.

Everything runs on your phone. No account, no sign-in, no message uploaded to anyone.


■ SPAM AND SCAMS, FLAGGED ON SIGHT
Prize scams, fake delivery notices, loan bait and phishing links are flagged the moment they
arrive — and Messages tells you WHY each one was flagged, so you stay in control. High-risk
spam is filed silently, with no notification at all. Block any sender in one tap.

■ EVERY VERIFICATION CODE, ONE TAP AWAY
Banks, logins, two-factor prompts — every security code from every sender lands in one
screen, newest first, with one-tap copy. Codes also copy straight from the notification and
from a Quick Settings tile, so you never open the app or scroll a thread to sign in.
(OTP codes, one-time passwords, 2FA — whatever your bank calls them.)

■ YOUR INBOX, SORTED BY ITSELF
Banking, Shopping, Delivery, Travel, Codes, Tickets, Spam — every message lands in the right
place automatically. Nothing to set up, no rules to write.

■ SPENDING YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO TRACK
Card alerts, subscriptions and payment texts become a monthly total, broken down by category.
Bills are pulled out with their due dates. Works in dollars, pounds, euros, rupees and more.

■ PACKAGES AND TRIPS
Tracking numbers from every carrier gather in one list. Flight, train, bus and hotel bookings
are found in your texts and laid out by date.

■ SCHEDULE A TEXT
Write it now, send it at 9 AM. Pick 15 minutes, an hour, tomorrow, or any exact time.

■ TRANSLATE IN PLACE
Drag the translate bell onto any message and read it in your language, right in the bubble.
Over 50 languages.

■ EVERYTHING ELSE A TEXTING APP SHOULD DO
• Quick replies you save once and reuse
• Smart reply suggestions
• Tasks and reminders pulled out of your messages
• Daily digest of what mattered
• Summary of unread threads
• Family Inbox for the people you never want to miss
• Business-card scanner that adds the contact for you
• Backup and restore
• Group MMS, photos, video and audio
• Dual-SIM support
• Dark mode, 8 accent colors, two chat styles
• Home-screen widget with unread count and your latest code
• Archive, pin, star and swipe actions you can remap


■ PRIVACY IS THE PRODUCT
Most free texting apps are free because your messages are the product. This one is not.

• Your messages are read and sorted on your phone. Spam detection, categorizing, codes,
summaries, expenses — all of it runs locally, with no server involved.
• No account and no sign-in. There is nothing to breach.
• Your messages, contacts and codes are never sold and never used to target ads.
• The app's own database is excluded from cloud backup, so your texts don't leave that way.
• One honest exception: translation. When YOU tap Translate on a message, that one message is
sent to a translation service so it can be translated — nothing else about you goes with it,
and it never happens on its own. Full detail in our privacy policy.

Messages is free and ad-supported. Ads never see your message content.


■ AFTER CALL
When a call ends, Messages can show a card offering to text that person, schedule a message
for later, or send a photo. It is optional, it never reads your call history and it never
records calls. Turn it off any time in Settings → After call.

■ WHY IT NEEDS SMS PERMISSION
Android only lets one app be your default texting app, and only that app can send, receive
and organize texts. That is what the permission is for.

English, with Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Russian, Arabic, Hindi, Persian and
Indonesian in progress.
