I'm currently in a country with lots of companies straight up spamming every single number. But, I guess it's by law, all those messages have a word signifying that it's an ad.

My question is whether there's an app that could auto-remove them, preferrably removing the notification as well and ideally keeping the stock messenger intact.

I've tried a few from the play market's top but none seemed to work, some didnt even have such a feature. Also tried some automation tools, but couldnt find one that could delete SMS messages.

Any suggestions?

Not what you're looking for regarding keyword or bulk messages... however, Textra has a block feature that works well when each text is received.

I know that's still a lot of messages you have to open in order to Blocklist. Hope you find a better option.

Sounds like a good app dev project for those people that do it.
