A few people have asked if theres a way to filter out texts from like doordash, uber, spam messages, etc

One way we could detect this is is have an option that filters out any "conversation" that you've never sent a text to

It's possible though for people to get a ton of messages from a legit contact and still not respond? I suppose unlikely though.

Originally, we did this by filtering out all phone numbers less than 7 digits.

Probably add this as a filter option or something so it's always toggleable, but

I think it's a bit of fine tuning a combination of:

  • If they've ever responded -> I think we can leverage when the first message was sent. Like if the first message was a month ago, and last message was a day ago, and they've never responded at all, it's fair to filter out. If it's a legit contact that they've never responded to, I'd be surprised if they want that included in analysis.
  • How long the phone number is (But companies like doordash, uber, etc all have phone numbers that look legit)
  • Content of message
