4-digit verification code texts

[djr7572]

Prior to iOS14, I had no problem at all receiving these 4-digit verification code texts ("short codes") ... from either businesses, utilities, or whatever who need to verify your account/identity. Since downloading iOS14, for some reason I'm no longer receiving these texts. As if my iPhone is blocking them or something.

Is there something in Settings that needs to be enabled in order to receive these texts?

Well, I just spoke to T-Mobile, and apparently it's a Security feature they have to un-block so you can receive those short code texts. Person I spoke with said I'm not the only one who's called - there's been quite a few. For some reason (at least on T-Mobile) users aren't getting these short code texts after the iOS14 upgrade. All the person did on the other end was un-block something in my Security settings ... or enable something ... at any rate, supposedly it's fixed and it's not an issue with my device.

I'm on T-Mobile too and although I haven't experienced the issue yet, are you saying the security setting change isn't something the end-user can do themselves?

T-Mobile made it sound like it's something they have to do on their end. Had nothing to do with my iPhone
