I had hundreds of messages to delete and no way to delete them all at once. This app saved me the tiresome job of deleting them one at a time.

I loved it because it solved my problem. I was having 1200+ sms that supposed to appear as conversion but they instead appeared one after the other and fill all the inbox. I used this app to delete them.

For some reason google messages doesn't allow to search SMS older than a year and than select all of them to delete it. Thanks to Search and delete app. I was even able to list all my unread SMS which I had missed to read for some reason.

About this app

A fast and convenient app for search and cleanup SMS and MMS messages. Works on all versions of Android starting from Gingerbread (2.3), including Marshmallow (6.0), Oreo (8.0) and above.

Can handle tens of thousands of messages. Deletes thousand of messages in 5 minutes (depends on the total number of messages). The deleted messages are saved in a backup on the memory card.

You can use the app to quickly search and delete old, unnecessary or spam SMS and MMS messages.

Starting from Android 4.4, message removal can only be performed by the application registered in the system as the main SMS sending app. Therefore, the system will ask you to temporarily make 'SMS Search and Delete' the default app for sending SMS messages prior to proceeding with message removal. Please respond affirmatively. After we finish removing SMS messages, we will reset the settings to their default values.

All features of the app is available for free. In-app purchase to disable ads.

Required permissions:

The Android system requires applications to ask the user for permission to access SMS, contacts, etc. Therefore, we apologize for the multiple requests that appear during the operation of the application:

- Permission to read SMS - used to display a list of messages
- Read permission for Contacts - used to display the name of the sender / recipient
- Permission to access the memory card - used to write a backup
- Permission to lock sleep mode - to ensure that the smartphone does not go into sleep mode during a long process of deleting messages

Possible problems and remedies for them:

1. If you have accumulated a large number of text messages, Android may not be able to handle deleting them. If the application hangs up or terminates with an error while deleting the messages, you may have to do a full deletion of all SMS text messages. To do this, use the menu option "Delete All SMS"

2. If after deleting the text messages they are still displayed in your SMS application, it may be necessary to reload the messages:
• For Textra, choose the menu option Settings -> About -> Resync Textra
• For Mood Messenger, choose the menu option Settings -> Advanced -> Resync Mood with system sms/mms database
• Handcent NextSMS uses its own database to store SMS text messages. The only way to synchronize the deleted text messages is to reinstall Handcent Next SMS (completely remove the application and reinstall it)
• For other apps try to execute "Reload Sms Application" command from "Troubleshooting" menu.

3. If none of the methods listed help, please report the problem to us and indicate the name of the SMS application you use.
