Moving data from one smartphone platform to the other can be tricky. In a perfect world, there would be a quick, easy-to-use solution to getting your text messages from the platform you're leaving to the platform you're going to. And there is — you just have to set it up at the right time.

Burner is already great to give a phone number to people you may not want to have your real number, but its chat bot, Ghostbot, makes it even better -- and safer. Whether it's a bad date who won't stop texting you or an annoying match on a dating site, Ghostbot can take care of it for automatically.

iOS: Not everyone likes the new features in Messages. So, if you have an annoying friend sending you a million stickers, you'll be happy to hear that it's possible to at least remove those stickers, though you can't stop them from arriving in the first place.

Android/Android Wear: Talkey analyses your incoming text messages and intelligently generates plain-language responses appropriate for the message. It's ideal for when you're busy and don't have time to type a long message, and it even works with a tap from your Android smartwatch, if you have one.
