I'm interested in preventing an SMS from going to the inbox.

I read other questions/answers here on stackoverflow, like this:
How to prevent SMS going to inbox in Android?

And there are several persons saying stuff like this:

If you have an existing app which relies on aborting SMS message broadcasts then you may want to consider the impact this change in behaviour will have when your users upgrade to Android 4.4+.

So...
I´ve noticed that WhatsApp prevents the verification-code-SMS from going to the inbox.
I´m talking about this activity:

SMS verification code activity

My question is: does the SMS popup in newer Android versions? isn´t prevented from going to the inbox in newer Android versions?

If it does popup and it does go to the inbox, I guess that they are using the same piece of code: aboutBroadcast(); and I will stop concerning about this subject. But if it doesn´t popup and they do prevent the SMS from going to the inbox, I´ll ask: how they do it??

  • Nope. Sorry. Maye they were just rumours and u can actually prevent it (the sms going to inbox) in newer android versions – sports Apr 09 '15 at 06:15
  • I also have seen some apps that can truly prevent receiving sms from going to inbox, as I have researched so far it can be done only by specifying port number in AndroidManifest.xml file. I am working on this and I hope to solve it. – Mohsen Emami Sep 15 '19 at 06:24
