Decluttering the SMS inbox, The ML way.

Many of you would have witnessed the GMAIL UI going through a radical transition, clearly separating out Primary, Social and Promotional emails.Google describes the new tabs as a way to "put you back in control so that you can see what's new at a glance and decide which emails you want to read and when."



What Email is in west, SMS is in India. We get non stop gunfire of SMSes, most of them irrelevant. When the legal procedures (DND) fail to check this barrage of messages cluttering your device, you can always take refuge in technology. I have been waiting for core Android team to catch on and build a SMS app which gives implicit filtering much like GMAIL interface.

Not from Android team, but this is exactly what MS SMS Organizer claims to have delivered, and from the initial impression I can hardly disagree. Interface is beautiful and it does allow me to get on to relevant messages from friends and family. Clearly inspired from Googles Tabbed design (part which I care least about as end user), it uses Machine Leaning to categorize your SMSes in different tabs. Cherry on top features include automatic backup to your google drives, Smart reminders (again clearly inspired from Gmail alerts), options to customize UI, automatic handling of OTP etc.
