I uninstalled that crap years ago in favor of Key Messaging. Has an awesome keyword filter and spam blacklist.

Is it open source?

Yes exactly, so that’s why I need an SMS app that’s filtering all the spam out and is as least intrusive as possible. I only want my 2FA messages to go through, nothing else.
