Aloware smart encoding is a new feature that helps make SMS messages work better. It handles things like special characters, emojis, and non-english letters in a smart way. This stops messages from breaking into parts and makes sure they stay easy to read.

Regular SMS sometimes struggles with emojis or special characters. When this happens, messages can get split up. But Aloware smart encoding fixes these issues. It's smart enough to handle different types of content in texts, so messages stay together, making communication clear and smooth.
