In our increasingly digital world, smartphones and the internet have become essential tools for a wide range of tasks, from shopping online to managing our finances. This convenience also raises concerns about privacy and security. To address these concerns, companies have introduced innovative security features, one of which is the use of one-time passwords (OTPs).
The Role of OTPs
OTPs provide an additional layer of protection by sending a unique code through SMS or email, which users must enter to complete a verification process. However, a common issue arises after using these OTPs: they tend to clutter your inbox if not promptly deleted.

For Galaxy smartphone users who rely on Google Messages as their SMS app, there's a solution. You can configure your smartphone to automatically delete OTP messages which makes your digital life more organised and secure.
How to Set Up Auto OTP deletion feature
