Privacy Policy

At Additi Simple, we value your privacy and believe you should understand how our application works before using it. This Privacy Policy explains what permissions Messages: SMS Texting Launcher App requests, how information is handled, and the choices you have while using the App.

By installing or using the App, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

About the App

Messages: SMS Texting LauncherApp is an  Android application that combines SMS messaging with launcher functionality. The App allows you to manage SMS conversations, organize contacts, personalize your home screen, search installed applications, receive weather updates, and access additional productivity features designed to improve your daily experience.

Default SMS Functionality

If you choose Messages SMS Launcher App as your device's default SMS application, Android grants the App access to the permissions required for standard messaging features. These permissions allow the App to send SMS messages that you compose, receive SMS and MMS messages, display conversations, manage message history, and support everyday messaging functions.

Your messages are processed on your device to provide these features. The App does not send messages without your knowledge or action.

Contacts Permission

Contacts permission allows the App to display your saved contacts, search contact names, start conversations more quickly, and create or edit contacts when requested by you. Contact information remains on your device or your chosen account provider.

Phone and Call State Permission

The App requests Phone and Call State permissions to support communication features and to display an After Call Dialog once a phone call has ended.

The After Call Dialog may provide helpful information such as:

* Call duration

* Call summary

* Quick access to messaging or contacts

* Suggested actions related to the completed call

The App only detects the state of a call (such as whether it has started or ended) to display this feature at the appropriate time. It does not record phone calls, listen to conversations, or access the audio of your calls.

Notification Permission

Notification permission enables the App to notify you about incoming messages, important updates, reminders, and service notifications. You can manage notification preferences through your Android device settings at any time.

Approximate Location

If you choose to grant Approximate Location permission, the App can display local weather information within the launcher. Precise GPS location is not required for this feature.

Launcher Features

When Messages SMS Launcher App is selected as your default launcher, it provides home screen customization, app organization, widgets, folders, and application search. To support these features, the App displays basic information about installed applications, including app names and icons.

The App does not access or collect the personal data stored inside other applications.

Analytics and Crash Reporting

The App may use Google Play Services, Firebase Analytics, Firebase Crashlytics, and similar services to understand how the App performs, identify crashes, improve stability, and enhance future releases.

We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards to help protect the information processed by the App from unauthorized access, disclosure, or misuse. While we take appropriate security measures, no method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure.

Your Choices

You are always in control of your permissions. You may grant or revoke permissions through your Android device settings, change your default SMS application, select another launcher, disable notifications, or uninstall the App at any time.
