Privacy Policy
Appsoul Studio Inc ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about how our application operates. This Privacy Policy explains what information Messages SMS Launcher App may access, why permissions are requested, how information is used, and the choices available to you.
By installing or using the App, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
About the Application
Messages SMS Launcher App is designed to provide an integrated messaging and home launcher experience. The App allows you to manage SMS conversations, organize contacts, personalize your home screen, search installed applications, view weather information, and use communication tools such as the After Call Dialog.
Some features require Android permissions to function correctly. You decide whether to grant these permissions, and you may change them at any time through your device settings.
SMS Permission
If you choose Messages SMS Launcher App as your device's default SMS application, Android grants the App permission to send, receive, read, and manage SMS and MMS messages.
These permissions are used only to provide messaging features requested by you. Your SMS content remains on your device, and the App does not send messages automatically or without your interaction.
Contacts Permission
Contacts permission allows the App to display contact names, search your address book, start conversations more quickly, and create or update contacts when you choose to do so.
Your contacts remain under your control and are not sold or shared for marketing purposes.
Phone and Call State Permission
Messages SMS Launcher App may request Phone and Call State permissions to provide communication-related features.
These permissions allow the App to recognize when a phone call has ended so it can display an After Call Dialog. This screen may include information such as call duration, call summary, quick access to messaging, contact shortcuts, or similar communication tools.
The App does not record phone calls, monitor conversations, or access call audio.
Notification Permission
Notification permission allows the App to notify you about incoming messages, reminders, application updates, and other important events. Notification preferences can be changed at any time from your Android settings.
Launcher Permission
When you set Messages SMS Launcher App as your default launcher, it becomes responsible for managing your home screen.
To provide launcher functionality, the App may display installed applications, organize app icons, support widgets, create folders, provide application search, and allow launcher customization.
The App accesses only basic application information such as app names and icons. It does not access personal information stored inside other applications.
Approximate Location
The App may request Approximate Location permission to display weather information for your area. This feature uses approximate location only and does not require precise GPS coordinates.
You can continue using the messaging features even if you choose not to grant location permission.
Weather, News and Recommendations
Messages SMS Launcher App may display weather forecasts, news articles, useful tips, and recommendations for other applications. Some information is supplied by trusted third-party providers, and while we strive to provide accurate content, we cannot guarantee its completeness or availability at all times.
Advertising
To keep the App free for users, advertisements may be displayed through trusted advertising partners, including Google AdMob and advertising mediation platforms.
Advertising providers may receive limited technical information such as advertising identifiers, device model, operating system version, and basic diagnostic information in accordance with their own privacy policies.
Analytics and App Performance
The App may use Google Play Services, Firebase Analytics, Firebase Crashlytics, and similar services to understand application performance, identify crashes, improve stability, and enhance future updates.
These services help improve the App but do not access the content of your SMS conversations.

Sharing of Information

Security
We apply reasonable administrative and technical safeguards to protect information processed by the App. Although we continuously improve our security practices, no electronic system can guarantee absolute protection.
