Research direction

Start by locating how regular unencrypted SMS messages are received and how notifications are produced; the payload does not name a file or test. Define how specific words or phrases should affect notifications while preserving messages in chat, and clarify whether encrypted messages are in scope before considering the work done.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Could you make app block messages that contain specific words/phrases (or just no notification for those while sms still come through in chat)? It doesn't even have to be for encrypted messages if it's not possible to make for those, but just for regular unencrypted ones
