The notifications that matter, nothing else.

My Messages quietly filters your Android notifications and keeps only the ones that are genuinely important — NHS appointments, family messages, bank alerts — in one clear, large-text inbox. Built for elderly users who get overwhelmed by constant alerts, and for the family and carers who worry about missing something important from them.

Questions

Frequently asked

Does it read my messages without me knowing?

No — you grant notification access explicitly during setup, and can revoke it any time in Android Settings.

Will it drain my battery?

No. It uses Android's built-in notification listener — no polling, no background checks.

Does it work with WhatsApp?

Yes — add it as a source and set up sender or keyword rules.

Can I get alerted if something happens to a parent or relative?

Yes. Pro's instant caregiver alerts email you the moment a flagged keyword like "hospital" or "urgent" comes through — even if you're not with them — and caregiver check-in can notify you if their phone has gone quiet for longer than expected.

What Android version do I need?

Android 8.0 (Oreo) or later.

Can I cancel my subscription?

Any time, via Google Play → Subscriptions. Pro access continues until the billing period ends.
