I use whatsapp primarily, so no tethering needed, but SMS of course for one-time passwords and the like. I didn't want to open my phone for that. So I had a coding agent write an android background app for me that listens for SMS and forwards it to a discord server, and side loaded it. So now I get a discord notif on my laptop with the OTP.

WhatsApp has started hiding otps sent to linked devices

		Google Messages also does that, though it seems to be some opt-in setting for the sender, probably related to RCS?

		Yep, but I mostly get SMS OTPs. Whatsapp is all the other messages
