Anyone else having an issue whereby the PayPal 2FA text messages refuse to be received by the iPhone after updating to iOS12 beta?

I know one of the new features was for iOS to automatically capture these messages and automatically use them to log on, so I was wondering if this is a bug within iOS.

I have an Android work phone which has successfully received these messages and the only thing that has changed since I was last able to receive these messages on my iPhone was the update to iOS12 b3 so all evidence points to this being an iOS 12 bug.

In regard to PayPal, I wasn’t getting any notifications in the PayPal app on IOS12.

My app is notifying me no problems at all. My issue is that I am unable to receive the messages from 62226 number that PayPal uses for 2FA, and since one of the new headline features of iOS12 was to capture these messages I am wondering if that is broken.

It is working for me on iOS 12 DB 3.
Hmm the mind boggles then, not quite sure what could be causing it all of a sudden.

It was working a couple of weeks ago, now it doesn’t and the only thing that’s changed is iOS12.
[doublepost=1531078830][/doublepost]Looks like it must be a PayPal issue as I've just successfully received a 2FA message from Google, even though I spoke to PayPal on the phone and they don't seem to think there is an issue.

It would be nice if we could get the one time password on the Apple Watch thru 1Password. Don''t understand why PayPal doesn't show the QCR code when you turn on 2FA confirmation.
