Feature description
Quick side note: This is related to item #2 on the checklist, I have a previous issue about this, someone just marked it as invalid and refused to hear me out on why it's a valid concern.
#187
Why do you want this feature?
Major companies/services and even government institutions in several countries tend to use these sender IDs to send important service announcements or even OTPs (one-time pins/passwords).
I UNDERSTAND THAT "Block messages from not stored contacts" IS WORKING CORRECTLY. But having this fine grained control may be necessary for a lot of people who regularly interact with services that have these IDs.
Additional information
Possible Compromise:
From issue #187
I suggest making this more obvious by keeping the Add Contact icon visible on the top right of a conversation/thread.
In the current version of the app, the top right icons are: trash icon, call icon, add contact icon, 3 dot menu
On an alnum sender the icons change to: trash icon, archive icon, 3 dot menu
Just consistently show the add contact icon to make it obvious and avoid confusion.
