Why stop working if I add sender to my contacts? #48

Apologies if I’ve missed it, currently on my phone, but I can‘t find a reason why this would break if I add the sender to one of my contacts?

For example, one bank I use sends messages from “HSBCUKTOKAC”. So I see something less suspicious, I’ve added that to the banks contact details (and don’t get me started on the other weird and stupid things they do).

“If the sender's phone number is included in the receiver's contact list, this API will not be triggered due to the design of the underlying SMS User Consent API.”

“The message was sent by a phone number that's not in the user's contacts.“
