Automatically fill in SMS passcodes on iPhone

Until recently, it was possible to auto-fill an SMS passcode into my apps but this no longer works only on one specific app. I’ve talked with non-technical customer support for the app and they claim it’s not their problem because it’s a feature supported/implemented by Apple. I’m suspicious, can an app opt to ignore/disable the SMS auto-fill feature? I’m running iOS 14.6 on a 128 Gb SE, version 2.


iPhone SE, iOS 14

Yes they can or they can screw up an update and cause it not to work correctly. If it was all your apps I would suspect your iPhone but since it is working on others I would point to the one it is not working with. Try updating to iOS 14.7 and then look for an update of your app.
