Whatever the situation may be, traditional type of text messaging or the Short message service SMS have come a long way in the world of communication. It could pose a serious challenge to users as memory gets full and organizing SMS becomes a problem. However, we are going to list some tips for managing SMS better on your android or iOS.

Deleting Old Messages Automatically

This is a very important aspect of managing SMS in your Smartphone. This is because if you are not careful, your phone memory will get full and the possibility of blocking incoming messages becomes real. The best option here is to delete old messages automatically. These old messages will be chosen by the Smartphone user and set in a way the user wants. For example, android and iOS have an option of deleting your old messages automatically once your inbox has reached to a certain level. You do not have to be the one deleting them one by one. What you need to do here is adjusting your phone settings. Go to the settings of your SMS on your phone under the general settings. Search for the delete old message box and check it. Then set the SMS limits. You can set the limit to be 200 text messages or more if you so desire. For example, if you set the limit at 200 SMS, what happens is that, as your phone memory receives up to 200 messages, it automatically deletes the older messages in your phone thereby opening up your message space. With this, your memory can not be full to the extent of stopping you from receiving messages.

You can also delete SMS on Android and iOS selectively with TunesGo Phone Manager. Tick Messages you want to delete and click Delete.

Using Delivery Reports

WhatsApp has a double check which appears next to the text when a message is sent. This confirms that the message has been sent in WhatsApp. How about an SMS?  Managing your delivery reports of your SMS in your android or IOS devices is not also difficult. Just go the app settings and under the subcategory of SMS, there is a delivery report box, just tick it. With this, you will always get a notification when your sent message is received by the other person.

Setting Up Automatic Response

In most cases, this is done by using a third party application. One of such applications is the Auto SMS. It is a good tool for this purpose and can be downloaded for free from Google play store. Once downloaded and installed on your android device, you can use the auto answer feature. For example, when in a meeting, you can activate the feature to indicate “I am in a meeting, I will call you later”. Also note that activation for this feature is just as simple as pressing the on and off button in the settings.

Scheduling an SMS

There is no better way to manage sending SMS than using the scheduling options in your android    and IOS devices. For example, you want to be the first person to send a birthday wish to your best friend, all you need to do is to schedule it at 12am when you are sleeping. Just type the message, go to the option, choose schedule and input the date and time. It sends it automatically when the time is reached.
