Resolving Flash SMS Issues

Flash SMS, also known as flashing SMS, can be quite a nuisance as they often interrupt your internet connectivity. Here’s how to stop them:

1. Enable Truecaller as Default SMS App

Navigate to Settings. Go to Apps. Select Default apps. Tap on SMS app. Select Default SMS app. Choose Truecaller.

2. Stop Flashing SMS from Your Default SMS App

Go to the Messaging application of your phone. Click on the Two Dots on the top right corner and select Settings. Select Advanced Settings. You will find an option to Allow Flash Messages. Ensure it is Disabled. (By default, it is enabled.)

By disabling Allow Flash Messages, you should no longer receive these disruptive Flash SMS messages.
