Issue

Call and SMS services will be removed from ESET Endpoint Security for Android.

Solution

Starting January 9 2019, Google Play will implement restrictions for the use of the SMS and Call permissions necessary for the core functionality of the SMS and Call filter features in ESET Endpoint Security for Android. Due to these permissions restrictions, the following features will no longer be available in the Google Play version of ESET Endpoint Security for Android:

• Call Filter
• SMS Text commands - Anti-Theft feature

You can still use Anti-Theft remote commands feature using ESET Mobile Device Management from the ESET Security Management Center console. You can use for free ESET Security Management Center as a part of your ESET license.
