Hi,
I'm looking for a way to block and/or delete text messages. I've done some research on this, but I can't seem to find any decent solutions.
These text messages are work related. At my work, I sometimes have to be oncall for a week. When I'm oncall for that week, I need to look at text messages and calls that come through to my phone. These text messages are issues that I need to resolve. However, I don't need to look at them when I'm not oncall.
I already have a working macro to determine if I'm oncall or not. I also have a working macro that can block incoming work-related calls, based on whether I'm oncall or not. The only last bit I need to sort out is blocking the text messages.
My idea is to set phone to enable Silent Mode (with vibration off) when a work-related SMS is received, clear the SMS notification and then disable Silent Mode. But is there an actual way to block or even delete the message completely? My phone is rooted btw, so I don't mind if the solution requires root.
Also, I'm aware there are apps that can mute or block SMS messages, but those require you to manually mute or block them. The point of using MacroDroid is that I can automate this process, based on whether I'm oncall or not.
