A few months ago, Google’s Messages app launched Message Categories and Auto-Delete SMS with a one-time code in India, two important features for have more organized our SMS now finally began to expand to more countries.
According to reports, the automatic message organization from google it’s already being activated in the United States in a phased fashion, but it’s currently unknown if it’s also reaching more countries, or other languages, since it originally arrived in India in English
This is the new automatic organization of Messages
During its tests in India, the application Google Mail automatically classified SMS or messages into four categories or filters: personal, transactions, OTP (one-time-use codes) and offers, but in its international expansion they are only just appearing two categories: individuals and companies.
Therefore, all messages from individuals will go to personal and all text messages containing information, advertising and passwords will go to businesses. We also find the category to see all the messages, which is the one that is displayed by default.
This function is optional, Google Mail will prompt the user to enable it if desired view your posts by categories. Since Settings > Message organization you will be able to enable categories, select category for main view and if you want messages with one-time codes are automatically deleted after 24 hours
This last option, the ** automatic deletion of SMS with verification codes is the most important novelty **, since keeping the view of conversations much cleaner and with only the most important messages and not with dozens of SMS with codes single-use verification card that is no longer needed.
