Prevent interruptions during long blasts

For reliable high‑volume sending, both your computer and phone must remain active and connected. If either sleeps or restricts background activity, your blast can pause or stop.

Computer configuration

Keep your computer and browser awake for the duration of the blast.

Keep your PC awake

Your PC must remain powered on and active during the entire blast. If it sleeps or hibernates, the Text Blaster Pro browser extension will stop sending messages.

You can lock your screen and turn off your monitor while blasting.

On Windows

  • Open Settings → System → Power & Sleep.
  • Under Sleep, select Never.
  • Under Hibernate, select Never.

Keep the browser active

  • Text Blaster Pro runs in your browser, so it must remain open while blasting.
  • You can still switch between apps or windows, or use the browser for other tasks.
Some browsers suspend background or inactive tabs. Avoid minimizing the Text Blaster Pro tab if you encounter issues.

Android configuration

Ensure Google Messages can run continuously in the background.

Disable battery optimization for Google Messages

Android’s battery optimization can pause or limit SMS sending in the background. Disabling it for Google Messages ensures the app can run without restrictions.

  • Open Settings on your phone.
  • Search for Battery Optimization (or Optimize battery usage).
  • Locate Google Messages and set it to Don’t optimize.

Allow Google Messages to run in the background

Even without optimization, the app needs explicit permission to run continuously.

  • To open Google Messages's App info, long-press the app icon, then tap the information (ℹ) icon in the menu that appears.

iPhone configuration

Enable SMS fallback so the shortcut can send when iMessage isn’t available.

Enable “Send as SMS”

Enable Send as SMS in settings

To ensure messages send reliably from the Text Blaster Pro Shortcut, go to Settings → Messages → Send as SMS and turn it on. This allows the shortcut to send messages even when iMessage isn’t available.
