Hey, that’s pretty cool!

I have a question about your method - Are all messages broadcasted to the server? If only the ones with an OTP, are OTP messages for all apps broadcasted to those people?

In Auto-OTP, the OTP can be forwarded to different people app-wise. For example, you may choose who should receive the OTP for app1, who receives for app2 etc.

I have a rule which searches for the keyword OTP in incoming SMSes so not all messages get forwarded.

With this Shortcut her information is posted to a url, iOS requires the user to click okay to execute the action. So, you still have control on whether a message gets broadcast or not.

E.g., if a friend messages me asking “hey, did you get the OTP?”, my shortcut will prompt me to broadcast the SMS via the url but I can choose not to.
