Too many promotional texts bothering you? Try SMS Organizer by Microsoft Garage

App for Android
Get It For: Free

These days, you don’t get just one type of text. You get them from banks, delivery services, cab aggregators, e-wallets, internet/phone providers and so on. The problem is, you need to read these, not block them. And personal communications will get lost in the crowd. This India-only app by Microsoft Garage aims to make your life easier.


Unlike different spam blocker SMS apps, Microsoft’s solution automatically splits your texts into various heads like personal, transactional, promotional, archived and blocked. Not only will all texts be organised under different heads, it also offers automatic reminders for upcoming movies, flights, bill payments and so on.

Microsoft is quick to mention that it all works offline and locally on your phone — no texts are uploaded or analysed.

The one thing that it does online is backup all texts to your Google Drive, if you want to restore them on another phone. Try it and you might just end up forgetting about the stock SMS app on your Android phone.
