Any way to stop text messages from showing up in call logs on Samsung Oreo devices? I've found the basic "show messages/hide messages" option, but all texts still show as soon as you click on a contact. I'd like that to show calls only, as I can look at my texting app if I want to read texts. Is there some way of achieving this? Can I stop texts from being logged without actually deleting the texts?

I want to log all my calls and text messages, both incoming and outgoing, to my calendar for sync with Outlook.
I know of Call Calendar and Phone Log, but the former only logs calls, not text messages. Phone Log only logs incoming text messages, not outgoing texts, and logs calls without specifying who initiated the call.
Anyone know of a solution to logging all calls, with call initiation specification, and logging all texts, both incoming and outgoing?
Anyone care to develop an app for this? I would gladly pay.
Thanks.
i like this idea but it difficulty work for new app .
Moved as not software release.

Depends on what you mean by block. If you turn off the default text app, you won't see them. Depending on the default app, you can turn off specific senders but if they are coming in and you don't know beforehand you may not be able to.
I only use Textra and almost never get text messages.
If you are thinking this will protect you from stagefright, it is more embedded than that and all the possible ways it can be used is unknown still.
For SMS, can you get rid of "Unable to receive messages on the gear. Change the..."
I use Textra and when I go to Messages on the watch, I get the common message of, "Unable to receive messages on the gear. Change the messaging app to Messages". If I click "X", most of my message are there. Is there a way to stop getting that message from popping up without switching to "Messages" on my phone?
or, is there another app besides "Messages" that integrates with the watch? I just don't like Samsung Messages.
Thanks everyone. Also, I have googled this topic, just want to get people opinions on this great forum.
I would also like to know how to get rid of this message.
Also, I use Google messenger as my default messaging app. On my s2 watch, I only see my own outgoing messages. It doesn't show any incoming messages. How do I see both sides of the conversation?
I have a problem with my messaging app. I get text messages from my contacts, which I can reply to with no problems, but randomly, I'll get a notification for 99+ new messages. If I swipe down on the notifications, most of them are old messages, some new, and the majority are notifications from Amazon regarding something being shipped, from UPS, FedEx, Google Authentication, mostly messages that aren't from a phone number. For example, the notifications from Amazon are from +262966. Amazon, in particular has (55) next to the notification, which means I have 55 unread messages, but when I select any of them, it brings me to the messaging app, but none of them show up in the messaging app. I've selected the drop down menu next to the notification and selected "Mark as Read," but after an hour or so, they all come back. When I got the S8+, I selected to backup all my messages to the AT&T Messages Backup & Sync, so I could restore all my messages to my new S8+. After restoring them, I kept the AT&T Messages Backup & Sync enabled just in case something were to happen to my phone, and I was receiving all these new texts. Then I disabled it, but I still receive all these new texts. I'm wondering if there's a way to access these messages and delete them forever since I don't need them anymore. It's very frustrating to get 99+ notifications, but I can't view these messages anywhere and have no idea where they're coming from. Anyone have any suggestions?
It's probably from Samsung backup when you logged in

I'm trying to figure out the privacy/convenience trade-off to see if it's worth it to activate Messages for Web, and I can't seem to really find any details.
I currently use Messages on my phone, and I am (naively?) under the impression that my SMS and MMS messages are delivered from my carrier (AT&T) directly to my phone and they stay on my phone and are merely displayed in the Messages app but the messages themselves are not transmitted to Google.
If I activate Messages for Web, would my complete SMS/MMS history be uploaded to Google's service and stored there indefinitely and then displayed in my browser when I access it?
Thanks
