    • I pushed a fix in commit <commit_id>, please review it.
    • Generate unit testing code for this file.
    • Open a follow-up GitHub issue for this discussion.
  • Files and specific lines of code (under the "Files changed" tab): Tag @coderabbitai in a new review comment at the desired location with your query. Examples:
    • @coderabbitai generate unit testing code for this file.
    • @coderabbitai modularize this function.
  • PR comments: Tag @coderabbitai in a new PR comment to ask questions about the PR branch. For the best results, please provide a very specific query, as very limited context is provided in this mode. Examples:
    • @coderabbitai gather interesting stats about this repository and render them as a table. Additionally, render a pie chart showing the language distribution in the codebase.
    • @coderabbitai read src/utils.ts and generate unit testing code.

5-8: Clear Explanation of Technical Limitations
The new content succinctly explains that, due to Android’s technical constraints since 4.4 KitKat, SMS Gateway cannot modify or delete messages and will always display them in the default SMS app. For further clarity, you might consider rephrasing “delete/write messages” to “modify or delete messages,” though the current wording is understandable.


9-13: Minor Grammar Improvements in the Recommendation Tip
In the recommendation tip, consider adding the article “a” to enhance readability. For example, change:

-    - Set strong PIN code
+    - Set a strong PIN code
-    - Use dedicated Android device
+    - Use a dedicated Android device

These small adjustments improve clarity and consistency in the recommendations.

5-7: Clear Explanation of Technical Limitations and Design Choice

The text explains that due to Android limitations introduced in version 4.4 KitKat, SMS Gateway cannot delete messages and always displays them in the default SMS app. It also clarifies that while setting SMS Gateway as the default SMS app could technically allow message hiding, this approach is intentionally avoided to prevent any spyware-like behavior and to maintain transparency.

Suggestion: Consider adding a reference or a link to Android’s documentation or a relevant article for users interested in understanding these technical limitations in greater detail.

3-3: Section Title Clarity

The new section title, "How to hide messages on the device? 🙈", is engaging and immediately communicates the topic. Consider whether specifying "SMS messages" might add even more clarity for users who might otherwise confuse it with other messaging types.


9-12: Well-Structured Security Recommendations

The tip block provides clear and actionable security recommendations, such as restricting physical access, setting a strong PIN code, and using a dedicated Android device. This adds practical advice that complements the technical explanation nicely.
