Best and free app to sync messages on andriod.

Hope you are doing it with their consent.

You can try pushbullet app

Most dimers have this need because they have various CCs in the names of their near and dear ones and need OTPs.

I tried Messages too and it never allowed OTP synching from the beginning itself. So, it was of no use to me. I use Pushbullet for the time being. I have just set up a Tasker routine to auto-forward OTPs to another number. Have yet to test it though. I paid for Tasker many years ago but never used it 😋

@dexter_greycells , @ZIZER I hope Pushbullet is trusted. As I don't don't want someone else (Scammer/hacker/ developer of pushbullet) to enter the OTP before I could on the merchant sites.

From : *.
To: Your mobile number

The *. is a regex which means "any character 0 or more times", which basically means forward messages from any number to a specific number.

The app is open source, ask ur developer friend to snoop thru their code to see if something is fishy.

I am a dev, i use it on my moms phone, i handle her finances remotely

I installed the app, it is asking for these 4 permissions for syncing messages. 

• Call loga
• Contacts
• Phone
• SMS

I don't really have much problem in sharing these 4 permissions. The only issue is, I don't want to be able to send messages through their online interface.  I want to be able to only see the messages there. But right now, I tried and I am able to even send messages through my pc. 

If someday, the pushbullet / google account gets hacked then someone can easily screw me as they will be able to send messages through my number. A lot of things can be done with bank accounts and other services by just being able to send messages.  Even SIM swapping is a possibility 

Is there any way to make it just see / read only.
