When I was using an Android phone, I switched from the OnePlus 5 to the Galaxy S10. But my choice of an SMS app remained the same – SMS Organizer from Microsoft. It made it very easy to keep track of the incoming messages, copy entries and paste them without having to type them yourself. On iOS, however, it has always been murky to say the least. The Messages app in iOS is great for iMessage, but it's terrible for handling regular text messages.

With iOS 14, the Messages app has these built-in filters. Your messages are now automatically classified into these categories.
