Follwing are the commonly faced issues with their solution


Forwarded message is "sensitive notifications content hidden"

This issue has been introduced in Android 13 and above with the introduction of Enhanced Notifications feature. This feature improves user experience by providing AI-powered, context-aware actions, such as suggesting quick replies and relevant app actions (e.g., opening maps, tracking numbers) directly within the notification. However, this feature can cause issues with SMS forwarding as it may mark the forwarded message as "sensitive content" and hide the content in the notification.


To fix this issue, please turn off the Enhanced Notification option for Forward SMS app. Below are the steps to turn off the Enhanced Notification option.


  1. Go to phone settings.
  2. Navigate to Notifications
  3. Turn off the Enhanced Notification option.
