Google’s Messages app—which is the default SMS app on many Android devices—has “Categories” across the top to organize your text messages. Thankfully, this email-like feature can be turned off if it’s not your cup of tea.
Since March 2022, Messages shows three “Categories” at the top of the inbox: “All,” “Personal,” and “Business.” You don’t have to do any manual sorting. Google automatically attempts to sort your messages into these categories.
If this feature sounds familiar, that’s because it’s very similar to the categories in Gmail. You may not find it as useful for SMS. Let’s get rid of it.
