<div style="text-align: justify;">Spam text messages are on the rise and while there are certain services offered by mobile operators to block them, a large number of texts still manage to reach your smartphone. Not only that these messages clutter your SMS inbox, but at times they also include links to malicious websites. A new app called Truemessenger has just been launched that helps users to completely block text messages from unwanted numbers, especially advertisers. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">The app is developed by the same company that created Truecaller, a similar app to block unwanted and spam phone calls. The new message blocking app allows you to put a name to a number on your SMS messages and automatically filter out spam. In order for the app to work, one has to replace your default SMS messaging app with the Truemessenger app through your device settings. Once that is done all your SMS messages are categorized into your Inbox and Spam folders. You can add or remove any number from either of the folders. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">Apart from completely moving to a new messaging app, the major downside of the app is that once you have installed it onto your smartphone, it accesses your contact list and other private information, just like Truecaller. If you don’t mind sharing your contact list, and want a simple solution to block spam messages, then Truemessenger is worth a try.</div><div> </div>
