After Call Screen Feature
Our Messenger : SMS Home Launcher includes an "After Call Screen" feature to provide users with quick access to calculation tools immediately after a phone conversation ends. This is designed for convenience, such as when you need to calculate expenses, split a bill, or perform work-related math discussed during the call.
1. How it works: The app detects when a phone call has ended to trigger a summary screen that includes a quick-access Messages widget or a shortcut to the main app.
2. Permissions Used: To provide this functionality, the app requires access to the Phone State (READ_PHONE_STATE) permission. This permission is used only to detect the transition from an "active call" to an "ended call" state so that the post-call screen can be displayed.
3. Data Privacy & Non-Collection:
No Recording: Our app does not record, listen to, or monitor your phone conversations.
No Call Logs: We do not collect, store, or transmit your call history, contact names, or phone numbers.
Local Processing: The call-end detection happens entirely on your device. No data related to your calls is ever sent to our servers or any third-party.
4. User Control: This feature is optional. Users can enable or disable the "After Call Screen" at any time through the Settings menu within the app.
Messages may disclose your Personal Data in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to:
To comply with a legal obligation
To protect and defend the rights or property of Messages

To protect the personal safety of users of the Service or the public
To protect against legal liability
The security of your data is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

These third parties have access to your Personal Data only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.
READ_PHONE_STATE Permission: Our app requires the READ_PHONE_STATE permission to provide the After Call Screen functionality. This permission is used exclusively to detect the exact moment a phone call ends so that the app can display a quick-access Messages interface. This helps users perform immediate calculations (such as bill splitting or business math) discussed during the call.
Important Privacy Note: This permission is strictly used for call-state detection. We do not access, collect, or store your phone number, the identity of the person you are talking to, or any call duration data. No information regarding your phone calls is ever transmitted off your device or shared with third parties.
