Detect when a verification SMS is received and offer to copy the code to clipboard
Many services offer 2fa authentication via SMS these days. It would be great if Textra could recognise these senders and the part of the message that contains the code. Then either copy the code to clipboard automatically or offer a button for the user to do it, so they can just paste it into the app that is waiting for it.
This might not be practical for every obscure service that uses it, but the big ones like Facebook or PayPal could still be really handy.

This is available as an API from Google; please add it as a feature in Textra. https://developers.google.com/identity/sms-retriever/overview

Android Messages is apparently going to be doing this (https://www.androidpolice.com/2018/05/11/android-messages-3-2-adds-2fa-code-copy-shortcuts-apk-download/), maybe we could get something similar in Textra.
