Getting started with SmishAlert on Android
Install from Google Play or through your organization, then report suspicious texts and use Practice Inbox.
Yes, SmishAlert supports Android
SmishAlert is on Google Play for individuals, and organizations can still deploy it through MDM. Download it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smishalert.android.consumer
What you can do on Android
Sign in, report a suspicious text from the app or the share sheet (screenshot, pasted text, or a QR code), and read the result in Alerts. Practice Inbox is in the app: simulated scam texts for practice. They are not real messages and they never appear in your texting app. Android does not filter the phone's text inbox. That filtering is an iPhone feature.
Install through your organization
If your company manages phones, install SmishAlert the way IT directs: Managed Google Play, an MDM catalog, or an internal link. Use only the instructions from your administrator.
Sign in and onboarding
Open the app and sign in with the method your account uses (for example email/password or Google, depending on your build and organization). You may be asked to enter a phone number, confirm SMS consent for onboarding messages, or complete org onboarding - follow the prompts. If you see "awaiting organization" or an access error, your invite may still be pending; check with your admin or use the email link they sent.
Main tabs
The Android app includes Alerts, Practice Inbox, reporting, and Account. Exact labels can vary slightly by release.
Report something suspicious
On the Report tab: submit a screenshot from your gallery (with optional crop), paste message text or a URL, or use the camera to scan a QR code. You can also share an image or text into SmishAlert from another app (Photos, messaging apps, etc.) using Android's Share sheet - choose SmishAlert if you see it.
How Android differs from iPhone
iPhone adds on-device filtering of suspicious texts through Apple's message filter. Android does not filter the system text inbox. On both, you can report a suspicious message and use Practice Inbox inside the app. SmishAlert does not replace your texting app.
Enterprise and MDM
IT teams can deploy the enterprise build with managed configuration (for example API endpoints) through supported EMMs. If URLs or analytics settings are pushed from your MDM, you may need to force-stop the app or reboot after policy changes so new settings apply.
