There’s a new Google Messages update page that takes up your phone’s entire display every time you open the app.

Granted, keeping your apps up to date is important, and this new system will help get that across to users. But we’re not sure annoying the hell out of the user about it is the best strategy.

      Yes exactly, so that’s why I need an SMS app that’s filtering all the spam out and is as least intrusive as possible. I only want my 2FA messages to go through, nothing else.
