本 App 不会、也无法直接读取你的短信 —— iOS 系统不开放这个权限。 它的工作方式是:你在收短信的那台设备上,用系统自带的「快捷指令」App 建立一条自动化,当收到短信时,由这条自动化把短信内容提交到你的账号。随后服务端按你配置的接收方式提醒你。 整个链路由你自己搭建、自己控制,随时可以在「快捷指令」里停用。 【三种接收方式,可同时开启】 · App 推送 —— 短信直接推到你常用设备的通知栏 · 邮件接收 —— 转发到你填写的邮箱,便于留存和检索 · 手机号接收 —— 转发到你指定的另一个手机号 【主要功能】 · 消息列表 —— 转发过来的短信按时间排列,当天未读带红点标记 · 一键查看 —— 点开即可看到完整正文和精确到秒的接收时间 · 接收方式管理 —— 三个通道独立开关,随时调整 · 接收测试 —— 配置完可发一封校验邮件、一条校验通知,确认链路通畅 · 视频教程 —— 内置配置教程,跟着做一分钟完成 【适合谁】 · 有备用机、老人机、家庭常驻设备的用户 · 工作号和生活号分两部手机的用户 · 双卡但只随身带一部手机的用户 · 需要把短信通知留存到邮箱的用户 【隐私说明】 短信中转助手仅处理你主动通过快捷指令提交的短信内容,不会读取设备上的其他信息。 请仅在你本人拥有或已获得明确授权的设备上使用本 App。本 App 不用于监控、跟踪或获取他人的短信内容。 短信内容可能包含验证码、账户通知等敏感信息,请谨慎填写接收邮箱和接收手机号,确保它们属于你本人。 配置需要系统自带的「快捷指令」App 配合使用。
