I dont want my family to know how much I earn or how much I spend. Is there a way to automatically hide or archive messages meeting a certain criteria ? Like an outlook email rule ? I currently use Microsoft SMS Organizer.
Unfortunately, I cannot change the pin or security of my phone, else it will raise suspicions.
So I want a way where my family is still able to check stuff on my phone, but certain sms is automatically hidden/archived

you want to hide you much you are earning …
Just disable credit notification for your bank account.

Debit notification can be kept on and message can be deleted after reading

There is one feature launched years ago.

Some call it screen lock

Instead of giving reply to what OP asked we are deviating to something else which is not supposed to be discussed in open forum as its a privy to his family.

No privacy breach. No names used. No address. No real names? We are imagining here.

Use a different sim for normal calls/whatsapp etc and for sms relating to banks and others. Use two handsets. Lock the handset having bank sim.

Whatever you are suggesting is simply going to create suspicion. I will be asked why do I have two sims? why two phones etc.

All I need is a way to hide certain types of smses.

Can’t you just hide sms apps from launcher

This solves the problem to some extent. The problem is when they are using the phone.. sms alerts pop up.

I think for now I’ll just disable all sms alerts as conditionally disabling alerts or hiding is not feasible.

Even I am looking for similar app / utility, years back I use to have

Handcent SMS
GO SMS pro

Both have private box, which auto moves messages to private box based on the contacts, but it was complicated to use, to define the contact for each Bank sender ID (HDFC uses multiple Ids). Also these apps are bulky and causes performance lags as time progresses

Not tried again recently, you can try and let us know

also you can try this. Hide messaging app. disable Notifications and sound for that app and enable just Vibration. so that whenever you get a message, mobile will vibrate and only you would know that you got a text. later when no one is around, you can open message app which is hidden and check that text.

The best way is use Macrodroid app and program whatever way you want..
Like delete/move to trash any text that contains “HDFC”..
