Updating to Android 15 broke my simple SMS program, so I installed 
Google Messages. I have found how to disable the functions I don't want 
(I only want simple text messages)  but every time a text comes in 
Google puts up an extremely annoying box asking me if I want to save the 
number as a contact. I've done come searching online, but cannot find 
out how to stop this. Is there a way to turn it off or remove it for good?

Failing that, does anyone know of a free app which runs under Android 15 
and only does, or can be configured to only do, plain SMS messages? A 
spam blocking facility would be handy (as in my old app Spamhound) but I 
don't want bells and whistles and pretty pictures everywhere - the apps 
I'm forced to use by family connections already do those.
