I'm not sure if this is available in Canada or not. Just made sure messages was up to date and I am in the beta for it too. Messages organization doesn't show after choose theme.

The function to automatically delete OTPessages was pulled by Google globally in late 2023.
It's not a case of "oh your country does not have it yet' it is a case of recycling articles badly without checking if they are still valid.

This article is utter garbage.

Not correct...it exists in Google Messages right now and I receive reminders from the app regularly that I can enable this feature that I have chosen not to use.

Nope not correct this was never rolled out globally. Typical Google most of the world never had this feature was only available in a handful of countries and as most of these tech blogs are maga focused the rest of the world doesn't seem to count so rarely mentions the availability of a feature or product outside of America

*Sigh* I've NEVER gotten this to work for me. I always go and check and it is checked but it refuses to delete them and I end up having to do it

No option for me. Seems to be only partially rolled out, would be worth updating the article to make this clear and save other folks wasting their time!

I just enabled it, so I'll see soon if it works.
