Message Organization Going Away? (sh.itjust.works)

has anyone experienced this thing where every few updates the message organization in Google messages is reduced to the 24hr auto delete for OTPs??

My category options just go away. I really like that about messages, especially the personal tab and making that the default.

I hope it's not a sign that the feature is going to the graveyard. maybe I'm doing something wrong?

I never had the message organization at all, even the 24 hour delete for OTPs on my pixel 5

probably you just got lucky in getting some a/b regional test at random, the feature was already destined to be killed

No, they removed the option. I too was pissed. I hate Google for this reason alone.

It disappeared for me too a while back.
