iOS 17 Alongside customizable contact posters, the innovative StandBy mode, and the Journal app, one lesser-known but impactful addition is the ability to automatically delete two-factor authentication codes cluttering up your iMessage or Mail inboxes.
Two-factor authentication is a crucial layer of security, adding an extra step to protect your information.
