info

Ensure the App Hash is generated before sending the SMS.

The App Hash is a unique identifier that links the SMS message to your Android app. You can generate the App Hash using tools.

When composing the SMS message:

  • Include <#> at the very beginning of the SMS body.
  • Append the App Hash at the end of the SMS body.

This format ensures that the SMS Retriever API can correctly detect and deliver the full SMS to your app.

Correct SMS Format Example : <#> Your App verification code is: 123456 FA+9qCX9VSu
