Feature description

I know its an initial release and i am sorry to requesting a feature too early, Only issue with the fossify sms is there isn't a spam folder or a way to retrieve accidentally blocked sms

Why do you want this feature?

I accidentally blocked an sms , i couldn't find an spam folder or anything like that, as a temporary solution i installed another sms app and retrieve that blocked message from there

Additional information

Even there won't be a spam folder ,please add any way to retrieve blocked messages

I was looking for this as well. Having a way to see blocked messages is necessary especially for unintended keyword blocks.
Also, google messages has a notification feature for blocked messages. When it blocks a message it sends a notification without showing the message body by saying new spam or blocked message. having that as an option would be nice too.

Idk I think having notification about that would be against its purpose imo (but maybe opt in option wouldnt hurt)

I also meant it as an opt-in option. The case that I needed it was when I got an OTP sms from a number that I had blocked because of their promotional adverts. If there isn't a Spam folder in this case you can't login obviously. and the notification would help to not miss it.

@mksafavi well anyway Spam folder would be better, right?

[lonewolf1321]

Just like an email service there will be messages falsely detected for spam and we always check spam folder next if we didn't received the message, so an spam folder can be considered as basic feature for any messaging app, hope we get that in future

I wanted this too :)

IIRC MMS isn't even saved if the sender is blocked.

I also want this! I am paranoid that I might have accidentally blocked a message unintentionally. I really just want the keyword blocking to avoid spamming of notifications, not to never have access to the message.

A Spam folder seems similar to the Archive and Recycle folders that already exist, so it doesn't seem like a huge ask to me.

any news on this? Google messages has two functions, mark messages as Spam and Block numbers.

I reverted needs triage because after investigation we've found out, that SMS from a blocked number doesn't get through to the app, so even if we create a spam folder it doesn't show anything. We need to check it further, how to bypass it, and then we can think of creating a spam folder.

It most likely also affects this issue: #237.

qksms has its own blocking manager and user can achieve blocked sms inside the app.
