I'll see if they respond. Thanks for trying.

Correct. It does seem to be the name instead of number that's triggering the issue.

Good suggestion. I tried that, but I've never used Samsung messages before and I can't see how to block any of the senders, except for the ones from unsaved numbers.

Yes, a department of my phone provider.

I get the "why this looks like spam" message when Google decides a message is dodgy, but not when I have blocked the sender myself.

Yes, Google Messages is the default. For most messages I see exactly what is shown in the article you linked, but not with messages from this particular sender.

I was expecting a one-time-code but it didn't appear. I looked in blocked & spam and it is there. I wouldn't have thought that would be from a premium sender? Other messages in the blocked & spam show an option to unblock, this one doesn't. I have a Samsung A41. Thanks for your help.

Duh. Yes

Text messages from my bank are being blocked. I know how to unblock other senders, but with this one there is no option to unblock them. I think this because there is no sender number, just a name. Ideas, please?

Thanks for the suggestions. Would an alternative launcher use more battery power? Is there an alternative launcher you would recommend ?

Yes. Why, is there an alternative?

My Fossil Q Venture HR has a hand wash timer app that I am never going to use, so I want to uninstall/remove/disable it so that there's fewer icons to wade through. How do I do this? It doesn't appear in the list of apps anywhere.
