GroupXiT屏蔽无聊群发信息 世界顿时清静了

新华网4月3日电 据科技博客网站Gizmodo报道，有些时候，无聊的群发信息已经成为一大祸害了，如何有效避免骚扰而又不得罪朋友呢？适用于安卓系统的app GroupXiT通过用户自主设定便可免去群聊信息骚扰。

说起群发信息，最让人受不了的莫过于，手机一个劲的震动引人查看，结果接二连三失望地发现，只不过是群聊的一个“呵呵”或者无关紧要的表情。不过现在，不必屏蔽朋友，也不必跟他们急眼，我们也有办法摆脱群发信息的骚扰了，名叫GroupXiT的应用程序就能让你的世界一下“清静”了。

这个app可谓匠心独具。安装GroupXiT并不是额外又安装了一个信息系统，而仅仅是将群发信息从你原有的信息应用中提取出来，让用户选择需要将哪些群聊删除，甚至可以做到让哪个好友“静音”。GroupXiT的一个好处是，不必担心你会错过什么重要信息，你可以设定一定的关键词，以此来选择需要接受的信息提醒。

可惜的是，这款app只适用于短信和彩信，不能用于苹果手机的iMessage，而且只能在运行安卓系统的手机上使用。以后有可能会推出iPhone版本，也有可能不会。GroupXiT目前可以免费下载，但是如果试验六次退出之后网站就会强迫用户支付2美元的费用。不管怎样，想想也值了，安装GroupXiT之后，再也不用为无聊的群聊“哈哈”犯愁了。

Thank God: There's Finally an App That Lets You Escape Group Texts

When it comes to group texts, nothing is more infuriating than being trapped in an endless barrage vibrations signaling nothing more than a "lol" or the occasional poop emoji. But until now, there was no convenient way to put an end to the madness without either A) blocking your friends or B) insulting them to the point that they cut off contact. GroupXiT fixes that.

The app is actually pretty ingenious in its design. Rather than existing as another messaging system entirely, GroupXit simply pulls the group threads you're currently in from your native messaging app, allowing you to choose which threads you'd like to remove from sight and even which individual friends ("friends") you'd like to silence. And don't worry about missing something important; you can opt to receive an alert for certain keywords.

Unfortunately, because it only works on SMS/MMS messaging (and not Apple's iMessage protocol), the app is only available for Android, with an iPhone version coming—well, probably never. And though GroupXit is free to download, you get six trial exits before you're forced to pay up $2 to keep going. But considering all the frustration and inane "kk"s you'll be saved from, it's a steal. [GroupXit via BetaBeat]
