Microsoft is shutting down SMS Organiser for Android users- Users advised to save and move messages to alternative apps
- No official shutdown date announced by Microsoft yet
The company has not said when the app will stop working but the alarm bells are ringing which means people have to look for alternatives, which means having their messages saved and moved to another similar app.
Latest and Popular Mobiles
The SMS universe is fairly scattered and lack of reliable apps made it imperative that SMS Organiser continues to serve the users. This update will come as a surprise to some but not all of them.
Going away for good

The app shutting down doesn’t come as a shock to many, especially because of how the platform has been served by Microsoft and its team. The app was last updated in September 2024 which is a clear hint of things not being rosy. Microsoft never managed to go beyond Android with the app, even when the platform got 10 lakh+ downloads and the reviews are mostly positive on the Play Store.
The app notification doesn’t say much, in fact says nothing.
We even reached out to Microsoft for a comment or an update on this news, but the company did not have anything to share on the subject. So now people are left to guess the timeline for its final day but you should move the messages before that happens. There is even a Reddit comment on this topic which has over 100 replies and views for users who are wondering why the app is going away and what they should do now.
It is sad to see SMS Organiser going away but we do hope that some other developer/startup fills up the space rather than letting users go for the conventional options available in the market.
What happens now
With SMS Organiser shutting down people are scrambling over for options, apps that can offer the same features and the same level of experience. And getting so many spam SMSs means you could easily separate them for the main inbox.
Granted, SMS is no longer the default choice of messaging because of WhatsApp and even iMessage to some extent. But you still get important messages, OTP for apps and bank payments. The current alternatives to SMS Organiser are limited and don’t exactly fill the vacuum that the Microsoft app will be leaving in the next few months.
