SMS filtering.

[nash 0]

Hi,

I can still block calls but not SMS. This used to work perfectly.

Is this feature coming back?

Otherwise I'll have to find another blocker.

I have EMS 3.0.1173

 

Thanks

Since Android 4.4 (KitKat), only one application can access SMS. That said, SMS filtering doesn't work due to technical limitations of the operating system.

Yes and I'd you're using Android 4.4 (or higher) no blocker (maybe except of pre-installed "system app" or the SMS app itself) will be able to block the SMS.
