Sometime in the last week, a post was made asking how to prevent an unwanted person from contacting her via SMS messaging. She can block his phone number directly, and/or just not answer "unknown caller" attempts. (could just direct those to a silent ring/disconnect)
I was browsing aimlessly thru the internet and just came across this blurb:
(*Text blocking not available on Android 4.4/KitKat) found it here:
https://forums.androidcentral.com/e...ls?id=com.webascender.callerid&token=-4y5D5vl
and this blurb:
• Starting from Android 4.4, Google has revoked SMS/MMS permissions from developers. Due to that fact, LINE whoscall will not be able to block SMS/MMS for Android versions 4.4 and above. Call blocking feature is not affected.
If that is actually true, as of today we have no way to block unwanted SMS messages.
I was reading all of the info on different Caller ID apps to see if any of them are worthwhile.
What I have really noticed about the INFO on Android Apps.... everyone of them proclaims to be the best app for: whatever feature it is for
Without verification from actual users, like here on a forum. that kind of statement goes in the toilet for me.
