The Google Messages app, pre-installed on most Android smartphones (My Messages, where SMS messages arrive by default), is integrating a new option to help users distinguish SPAM messages.

As NBN reports with reference to the AndroidAuthority material, notifications from unknown international senders will be automatically grouped and moved to a separate directory called CROSS_COUNTRY (“from abroad”).
It is expected that such an innovation will strengthen security measures aimed at the convenience of users, that is, it will help to avoid falling into the networks of “phishing” (theft of personal information). At the same time, a new folder with “junk” messages will be open to smartphone owners, and this functionality can be independently enabled/disabled in the settings.
In addition to the key “Inbox” folder, Google Messages already marks some SMS messages as spam/blocks them, but the above option will make it easier to identify suspicious texts in another language, that is, coming from abroad.
