Hello !!
What is the latest Android version your App works on ? I tried Android 13 but i don't see the sms in your App. I see it when it arrives on the phone but not in your App.

I do see 1 or 2 and some times 3 old text messages when i click on the ListView and only after i click on "Request Permission".

Thank you,

Carlos

Any ideas on how to read sms in Android 13? or any other old Android version ? I will look for an old Android phone with the version you recommend works with your Read SMS Extension.

Thanks !!

I have not tested this on different android version but if you grant required permission it will work.

Thank you.

Tested yours and The_K_Studio and both worked fine but how come both Apps only read some of the senders ? Is there any restriction on what Text Messages not to read?
