I just did and I hate it. I'm upgrading from s22 because I wanted more storage space. Big Big mistake I hate the messenger app. I used to be able to download a photo sent to me with Spanish text , then to the photo and use lens to translate from to Spanish to English which I do on a daily basis. Not now. You have to download the photo go to your photos and then to a message folder and the lens doesn't offer translation. Another thing you can only copy from message the whole message and not just one word in it. I do that often when I'm signing on to a website and they send me a six digit code that I can copy and just paste it into the web page. Not anymore that's just some of the things that don't work right on this phone. No wonder they're giving it away. Anybody else having problems. I don't know if downloading the Samsung message app would help. It doesn't offer it as an alternative on the phone.

Any suggestions or comments?

This doesn't always work as some business apply some weird sort of hyperlinked that is somehow 'bonded' to the SMS Code you need to use.

Never had a problem myself with it. The OTPs I get always have the copy option if the app itself doesn't call for self population. Perhaps we just log on to different sites. Texts with an emedded link, I just click the link.

Just a note. You can have the setting on to auto populate, but only sites that allow the auto population will populate. Not all allow it, eapecially financial sites.
