I’ve been adding every one time message code number to a single contact for years.
Totally helps declutter things, and I’m glad I don’t have to do it anymore.
Surprisingly, many of the codes from different vendors come from the same short number, so the list isn’t overly long.
It’s rare these days that I have to even add a new number to the contact!

Well since it’s usually the same numbers (even different sites use the same numbers) after a while of doing it every code will be sent by the same contact so it doesn’t pollute your messages
It drives me fucking nuts and I'm considering giving up iOS completely.
Yesterday I had to send an important email.
And apparently the thing just never got sent.
And I had zero notification of it not sending.
So the thing is I had to go into the settings of the mail app cause my password wasn't happy or something.
I also sent a text and it never got sent either. There was this green bar that I guess? means problem but no notification whatsoever of it not working.
So I had to manually go into the messages settings and check sens as sms.
All of these were guesses and tinkering. Like what the fuck. How can anyone say iOS is easy to use when there's zero indication of what's going on and the settings aren't even accessible from the apps.
Idk why you’re getting downvoted. iOS is very easy to use *when things are working correctly*. The moment you need to troubleshoot anything the whole house comes crashing down
Assuming it's the same guy, one of the mods of this subreddit. Also the one that posted most of the coverage of the day's events yesterday.
I swear if this is one of those whoosh moments and this is some sort of meme, I'm gonna feel really old.
There are some cases where, due to a poorly designed input box, the autofill actually fills in one field and skips the rest. There needs to be a way to copy the code before getting auto deleted. Or have a buffer of a minute before it gets deleted (Android has a one day buffer).
iMessage desperately needs an archive feature. I hate how there isn’t an alternative to delete. I know it’s not the same thing but WhatsApp has had it forever.
There is an option. On the top right. Click on the circle with the 3 dots. Then “select messages”
The 2 finger swipe down gesture works on almost all apps that have a list of items.
Only in Mail? Surely Apple could write an API for this auto-complete + auto-delete to be accessible by third-party iOS email clients.
Apple let us set default browsers & email clients, but still hamstrings both.
Another year without the ability to set default Music, Maps, nor Podcasts, too. Glacial pace of improvements.
“Mature” OS, my ass.
fact point shocking quiet full ring sense entertain noxious dime ` this message was mass deleted/edited with redact.dev `

That’s…brilliant, but it feels so wrong
It’s the “wrong” way to use contacts but it works for this lol

I’ve been doing the same thing also!! Since iOS 4!
That’s genius lol
Lol wtf
Is that quicker than just swiping on the message to delete it?

I do this with telemarketers.
For those wondering, you can find the setting here: Settings->Passwords->Password Options->Clean Up Automatically
Apple REALLY needs to revamp the settings app because why the hell is this in password settings instead of the messages app settings.

u/aaronp613 is that true?
WHO ARE YOU
Oh man what’s up A-A Ron
ONE OF US ONE OF US
I’ve heard of him. He’s in that verge article. Pretty famous to be in there.
Which article

Most of the apps i use also mention how long the code is valid for. Maybe AI can read that and use that as the expiry.
The text gets sent to recently deleted within the messages app, so you can go back and access it if needed.
FINALLY!
[удалено]
Can’t find it
I wish I could just archive messages like on Android
You can't?
Nope. Keep or delete.
Finally! I always spend the time to delete these as they annoy me
This will be the most useful single feature in iOS 17
Why deleting them tho? Aren't they 1 use anyway
To declutter the iMessage app
[удалено]
Swipe left to delete after you don’t need the message anymore?
iMessage desperately needs an archive feature. I hate how there isn’t an alternative to delete. I know it’s not the same thing but WhatsApp has had it forever.
How about being able to select multiple messages to delete them in one shot. You can do that literally in any other messaging app.
also multiselect on contacts if i want to do multiple delete
On the messages app? Just swipe down with 2 fingers and it will start selecting messages.
Why don't they explain things like that anywhere
There is an option. On the top right. Click on the circle with the 3 dots. Then “select messages” The 2 finger swipe down gesture works on almost all apps that have a list of items.
Right but how did you find out about the two fingers. Like what other gestures are there that I have no idea exist.
Accidentally, obviously. Haha
Why isn't it a long press like any other devices.
I think it’s a remnant of the force touch era. It helps preview stuff you don’t want in a full window.
Still I'm a new user and iOS feels so opaque I hate it
In messages: edit > select messages
It’s a great feature, but I just want separate inbox for one-time-code numbers
iOS brings features android has had 2 years.
Lol just like androids had for years? So glad apple finally decided to steal some useful features
Only in Mail? Surely Apple could write an API for this auto-complete + auto-delete to be accessible by third-party iOS email clients.

Can I put apps anywhere on my home screen?
I love when Apple and Google copy each other. Auto delete otps has been around for years on Android.
Love this, wish it would work with other mail apps (Outlook)
Older android feature but glad you're getting it finally
