Say Goodbye To Annoying OTPs: Here’s How To Automatically Delete Them!
OTPs are something we come across every day and are essential in our daily lives – especially now that we depend on them for payment transactions, logging into services and even authenticating our national identities like Aadhar cards. However, these OTP messages can clog your inbox and cause a lot of frustration. Not to mention the time it took to select only OTP SMS and delete them later.
Fortunately, if you use Google Messages as your default Android messaging app, this problem can be mitigated quite easily by enabling a simple switch. Let’s understand how to enable automatic deletion of OTPs in Google Messages.
How to delete OTPs automatically on Android?
- Open the Google Messages app and tap your profile picture in the upper right corner.
- Open Message Settings.
- Navigate to General.
- Under Message organization, look for an option to enable or disable OTPs automatically after 24 hours.
That’s it! When you enable this feature, all current and future OTPs sent to your device will be automatically deleted after 24 hours. This feature can help you save valuable time and unnecessary effort in deleting old OTPs.
If you don’t have the Google Messages app installed, you can go to the Google Play Store and install it from there. And after installing Google Messages, you need to go to Settings > Applications and then select Google Messages as your default messaging app.
