unable to get group messages with this app. so frustrating.
Developer reply
Sorry for the trouble! This is usually caused by RCS chat still being on in Google Messages. Open Google Messages > Settings > RCS chats > turn it off, set AdvanceSMS as default again, then ask a group member to start a new group. Full steps: privatesmsbox.com/privatesmsboxuserguide. Still stuck? Email us and we'll help.
worked great till the updated it. now I never get group messages so I am going to have to remove the app due to the fact I do not get my geoup messages ever.

Good evening developer I stumbled into this app this evening and it seems very nice and cool but please you have to add protection on this app password fingerprint or face ID and more options in your next update

Hi, We've forwarded your feedback to our developers. Thank you for taking out the time to send us your suggestions!
Was pretty good but now I don't get notifications half the time. It's unrestricted on battery & data. update: now it won't pick up group messages. keeps getting worse, it's trash now...

You're right, and we're sorry — the last reply didn't help and things got worse instead of better. The next update fixes the missed notifications, and we're chasing the group message issue now. Please share your carrier and a sample at info@privatesmsbox.com so we can track it down faster. Thanks for your patience.
Can't receive any texts from any iPhone. If the text is sent as RCS instead of SMS then I can't receive it.

Thanks for the feedback. RCS (used by iPhones since iOS 18) can only be received by Google Messages and some preinstalled OEM apps — Google doesn't expose RCS to third-party apps yet. Ask your iPhone contact to turn off RCS in Settings → Messages → RCS Messaging; texts will then arrive as SMS. We'll add support once Google opens the API.
Dual SIM is horrible. It only shows network carrier. I have two SIM cards in my SIM slots, but all of them are from the same network provider. When I receive a message, I can't tell which SIM received it.
