How to Read Incoming Sms by Using Application in iOS

How Can We Read Incoming SMS by using Application in iOS

Simply two words from Apple:

Not Possible

Detailed:

An iOS app can only access the data for which Apple supplies a documented public API. iOS can not access outside of the sandbox until Apple provides a public API for it. So intercepting/reading an incoming SMS not possible. And no idea when the iOS device is jailbroken.

Read SMS message in iOS

1. No, there is no way to read SMS messages. Apple is very strict on this due to privacy concerns.
2. Log in to the developers portal and click App Store Review Guidelines.

Nowhere in the guidelines does it specify that you can't access the SMSes. But you can only access if you use private methods which is not allowed and will get your app rejected.

You can only access data for which Apple supplies a documented API. You can not access files outside of the Sandbox of your App unless Apple provides an API for it.

Could an iOS application read/access SMS text?

Correct, you cannot access these on a standard, non-jailbroken iPhone. You should file a bug with Apple, perhaps they'll improve SMS access in the future.

1. Not possible

2. Check this

3. For SMS sending through application allowed but for accessing inbox for sms/email not allowed.

It is only possible when the phone is Jailbreaked. There are many tools to jailbreak your phone.

Once Jailbreaked, an application cal open the SQLite database at

/var/mobile/Library/SMS/sms.db
and read the message table.

It contains, the date/time at which the message was received, the sender/recipient phone number and even the clear text of the message.

How to get sms text from incoming sms in iOS

No way Not Possible. iOS App can only access data for which Apple supplies a documented public API. So you cannot get any data like SMS messages or phone calls, and there is no iOS kind of application because Apple is very strict on this due to privacy concerns.

Intercepting/reading incoming SMS is not possible on iOS (for privacy reasons)

If an app does that, I don't know if Apple will approve. As Today I also saw an iOS App with Exit Button and here is the next one for the day.

INSTALL APP :

As per your detail for Bebal iOS app I just downloaded it and reviewed it. Here are the steps:

Enter Phone Number, No Verification message found. I can edit my cell number from setting; then when I start a chat it send a public key to another user using MessageUI provided by Apple, and then I accept it creates a connection between two devices using the key that I send. So after that, I can communicate with other through the Bebal app server.

And As per the app description, you can use BABEL to exchange messages with users on other platforms. Messages the app receiving using the Internal Server, so final summary is there is no way to read an incoming message in iOS app

Please review and let me know if I am wrong.

Read sms using swift

You aren't allowed to access SMS. Apple doesn't allow this.

Even if you would be able to achieve this, Apple wouldn't allow it to be in the App Store.

Can I access to SMS inbox in new version of iOS?

NO this is still not possible. Check out Adam Davis's answer on How to programmatically send SMS on the iPhone? this still remains the same.

Apps will still work in a sandbox in iOS8 so they will not know about other apps and will not be able to access their content. This is how Apple has always had it and I very much doubt they will change it any time soon, if they change it at all. Also check out How Can We Read Incoming SMS by using Application in iOS
