This week we have another long requested feature - contact blocking. Everyone hates getting spam, so this week we focused on reliably preventing inbound SMS spam for our users. You can block and unblock contacts and we now automatically detect and mark inbound messages as spam when they follow common spam patterns.

Fixes & Improvements

  • Block and Unblock Contacts from the contacts editor
  • Update individual scheduled messages
  • Handle spam from inbound short code phone numbers
  • Improved contacts search by phone number
  • Added the location address message variable
