Пожилые люди чаще всего становятся жертвами телефонных мошенников — и почти всегда всё начинается с SMS, которую человек прочитал один. «СМС пересылка» отправляет копию важных сообщений с телефона родителя на ваш номер. Вы видите то же, что видит он, и успеваете позвонить раньше, чем код будет продиктован чужому. Как это устроено: • Правило: от кого пересылать, какие слова должны быть в тексте, на какие номера • Копия уходит молча — родителю ничего не нужно делать и подтверждать • Фильтр отсекает рекламу и акции, пересылается только важное • Журнал: когда, от кого и кому ушло; можно перейти в саму переписку Приватность как конструкция: • Сервера у приложения нет. Данные не покидают телефон • Тексты сообщений не сохраняются нигде — ни на устройстве, ни у нас • Ни одного сетевого запроса • Вход по паролю и Face ID
