   In the Messages app's settings (not Android settings), and after   
   clicking on your profile icon -> Message settings, what entries are   
   listed there for you?  I have:   
      
   RCS chats   
   Notifications   
   Bubbles   
   Hear outgoing and incoming message sounds   
   Pinch to zoom   
   Show expressive animations   
   Choose theme   
   Message organization     <--- OTP auto-delete under there   
   Your current county   
   Voice mess transcription   
   Gemini in Messages   
   Suggestions   
   Automatic previews   
   Protection & Safety   
   Swipe actions   
   Advanced   
   About, terms & privacy   
      
   Everyone wants to customize Android, so what you see could be different.   
   However, that usually applies only the OS screens and settings   
   navigation, not to the settings within apps.  I'm using a Samsung Galaxy   
   A36 on Android 16 with the Google Messages bundled on the phone (noting   
   messages.android_20251121_00_RC02.phone_samsung_dynamic for version).   
   There are differences between what I see in the screens for that app   
   versus the screenshots at the Play store:   
      
   https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.messaging   
      
   I could install the one at the Play Store to usurp the duties of the   
   Samsung bundled version.  I'm checking now on comparing the two.
