Special SMS messages in the format "@app_name #code" Copy link to clipboard

If the SMS text contains text in the format "@app_name #code," the Android system will hide such SMS messages from our app and will not allow access.

For example

Amount:
123,000
To:
1234**6789
Code: 123456
01/24 12:34
@sms.forwarder #123456

Or

OTP code 12345
@sms.forwarder #123456

This is a special SMS message format, access to which through standard SMS access mechanisms is blocked by the OS.


What can be done?

If you cannot influence the format of such messages by removing the @ or # from the text, the only option to forward them is to enable notification forwarding.

We recommend disabling SMS forwarding, otherwise messages will be duplicated (an SMS message will be forwarded, followed by a notification from the SMS app).

We also recommend selecting the app whose notifications you want to forward on page 3 of the filter settings (otherwise, everything will be forwarded, which creates a large flood of messages). If the desired app isn't listed, you can add it on the "Contacts and Apps" page in the app menu. You'll need to know the app ID (something like com.google.android.apps.messaging) and you can enter any name.
