SMS Verification with SMS Retriever API auto fetch issue

I'm trying to use Google's SMS Retriever API for Automatic SMS Verification, but there is an issue in it. previously , I was reading sender number using getOriginatingAddress() and if it's valid sender number then read OTP otherwise it should not read msg. As , forwarded OTP is disturbing user's privacy.

I have the following scenario.

My app is auto-fetching forwarded OTP messages.

User A installs app on his mobile and enters User B mobile number.
User B receives OTP and forwards it to User A.
App reads OTP on User A mobile and goes to home screen.
is there any way around to get sender number?
