More Text Tips

When you use two factor authentication and receive the verification code, simply swipe left to Delete the message. Do NOT block or Delete and Report Junk/Spam. 

This will make it much easier to get the current and correct verification code the next time you get one.

Always delete messages from stores, or any other rarely used texts. This will help keep your messages “clean.”
