Read Sms Message in iOS

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.

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 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.

There is NO way to read an sms in iOS. Apple does not allow that. The messages api allows you to use the compose message window, pre-populate it with data and let the user send a message within your app.

Retrieve the SMS text in iOS

It's impossible to access the user's SMS messages on both the simulator and on the real device (unless it's jailbroken). Unlike on Android, Apple's privacy constraints don't allow developers the right to access the users' personal data such as text messages, phone calls, etc.
You can see various examples for this. For example, try Whatsapp registration process on both iPhone and Android. On both, you'll receive a text message with the code, but while on the Android the code will be magically inputted and verified by the app, on the iPhone you'll see the received text message and be asked to manually type the code.
