I'm using Twilio to send SMS and there is link in it. I want to open that link automatically in user's phone.
can anyone help me? I do not know how to do it?
Not possible. However devices, based on configuration may provide a link preview option.

Is it possible to detect (programmatically), from an iMessage app extension: from the sender side: Whether the person you are talking to is using iMessage on their end, or they are an SMS/MMS user (Such as Android or Windows phone)
Basically I need to tailor my delivery experience based on whether they can render the fully rich experience, or a minimized subset of it.
For example, for iMessages, I actually want to deliver in-line video. For MMS/SMS, i maybe only want to show an Image only, or maybe even a Link only, to avoid the recipient's SMS/MMS charges.
No API is available for this. It's a really good idea though. I suggest you file an enhancement request with Apple. [Update: if anyone from Apple happens to see this, I've filed rdar://32773566 to request this.]
One possible workaround-- depending on how your app works with these videos-- is to upload the video somewhere and then send the URL as the message. On iOS, Messages.app will render a nice preview of most videos, if the sender is in the recipient's address book or the recipient has sent messages to the sender in the past.
I want to send SMS functionality in background without open popup for SMS.
To solve this issue I need to make the app send SMS in background. There used to be CTMessage Center in CoreTelephony Framework for such cases before. But now it is not available. Is there any other way to solve this problem?
There is no way to do this if you want to publish the app to the App Store. You can always work with private API but I highly doubt a header dump will reveal anything on sending text in the background. This is for privacy concerns and Apple will reject apps that use private API.
If you are willing to pay: this or this (note I am not affiliated, these are just nice ways to solve your problem).
I know i can't access the sms database of a ios device, but there's no workaround to achieve the same task using other tools?
My app must send an sms (which i do presenting the regular view of the ui message framework and asking the user to send it) and then receive a reply sms.
There's no way to receive this sms? There are online service or whatever can help me to do this?
No, the situation has not changed in recent years: there is no way to read any SMS (except if you're on a jailbroken device).
But one thing you can do is embed an URL in your reply SMS that the user needs to tap. You can then use an URL handler in your app to handle these. Like:
myapp://smsreceived?id=123&result=456
There's plenty of documentation on how to implement URL handlers.
In my apps, I want to access to user's SMS messages from the system database. Is it possible to read user's messages inside my apps?
No. Apple doesn't allow apps to access messages. Sorry.
However, if you are developing an application for jailbroken phones, all the messages are stored in an sqlite file. You can find more information about that here.
It not possible.

Hi I am aware that Apple doesn't allow developers much access to viewing or interacting with iMessage and the message app besides just being able to open up the messages app. What I am hoping to do is just be able to know if an sms or imessage was sent to the user by the notification. I do not want to see what the message content is just be able to programmatically listen for a notification that a message came in. Is this possible? I am hoping to be able to create a message auto reply. Thank you!
Nope, there are no public API's providing that functionality.
