Major Update: Full SMS Reception Features Now Approved on Google Play! Update
We’re thrilled to officially announce that SMSMobileAPI now supports full SMS reception capabilities directly from our app on the Google Play Store — no more APKs required!
Since September 2024, we’ve been working closely with Google to obtain approval for accessing received SMS on your Android device (with your explicit permission, of course).
Over the past months, we’ve answered every requirement, passed every review, and ensured that our encryption, data protection, and privacy policies meet the highest standards.
🔒 We’ve demonstrated full transparency and committed to the following:
Your SMS data is never shared, never processed externally, and never sold
All messages are handled locally and made accessible only via your secure API key
Google has reviewed and approved our app for production-level SMS handling
🚫 Why This Matters
For nearly a year, users who wanted to use SMS reception had to install our APK version due to Google restrictions.
While it worked well, we always knew it wasn’t ideal — especially from a security and trust standpoint.
Now, with full approval on Google Play, everything is 100% secure, verified, and seamless for every user.
🚀 What’s New
✅ Official Google Play support for reading incoming SMS
✅ No more APKs needed — everything runs through the verified app
✅ Secure SMS reception, real-time API access, and dashboard sync
✅ Enhanced documentation & onboarding
Version 3.0.30.3 – Google play Release - READ_SMS Update
Great news! Google now officially allows us to offer you access to your received SMS messages — a true sign of trust from Google. (Thank you, Google!)
Starting today, you no longer need to use the APK version to enable SMS reading via SMSMobileAPI. This feature is now supported directly through the official app on Google Play.
⚠️ Please note: this feature is disabled by default, and SMSMobileAPI does not have access to your received messages unless you explicitly grant permission from your device.
Version 3.0.30.3 – Google play Release Update
a new version of the SMS Mobile API Android app form Google Play is now available for download!
This update includes several important improvements to enhance your experience and the app's stability:
🚫 App launch is now blocked if the mobile network quality is too low, to avoid unexpected issues.
⏳ Loading message is no longer displayed if the server is in pause mode.
⚡ SMS processing speed improved, preventing the main window from freezing.
🛠️ Major debug fixes to increase the overall stability of the mobile app.
🗑️ In the SMS list, pending messages can now be deleted from the queue.
🕒 You can now see the date and time of SMS reception via the API.
🎨 A color-coded indicator shows the sending status of each SMS.
🔔 Mobile notifications are re-enabled.
❓ The [?] Help button has been reorganized for easier access to the Help Center.
📘 A Tutorial is now available directly from the [?] menu.
📄 The FAQ section has also been added under the [?] menu.
We strongly recommend you to update to the latest version to benefit from these improvements.
