in my app you can save a contact with a mobile number. I'd like to make a menu of starting a chat with that number in WhatApp or/and Viber.
Is there a way now to open a Viber/Whats app with a chat open with certain phone number from another app?
Thanks in advance
When I search for my ISPs phone number from an iPhone running iOS 13.5, I am presented with a hyperlinked phone number. When I tap on this phone number I receive a native iOS menu that allows selecting a live chat vs a call. Launching the live chat starts a chat session with their support team in iMessage. Additionally it shows this vendor as “Verified”.
How is this accomplished? Where is the documentation about this API? How do I become a verified vendor? Is this a special format in the hyperlink? I am aware of
href=“tel://...”
But is there some new URL format for trigging a native live chat dialogue?
I believe I found the answer it’s called apple business chat https://developer.apple.com/business-chat/
I want to implement call feature without sharing my actual SIM number. So I am trying to use Google Voice for that. Is it possible to open Google Voice app and automatically select a specific number. I will perform the call action manually.
Is this possible?
Is it possible to call a phone number programmatically in iOS and send different DTMF tones during the call?.
Basically I want an App to handle the IVR call. I don't know anything about iOS programming. I just want to know the feasibility so that I will put further effort.
Thanks
You cannot do this interactively within the bounds of the iOS SDK (ie, in an App Store app).
You can, however, build a tel URL. See the Apple documentation on phone links for more details if you think this will work for your needs.
I want to Read incoming SMS text in iOS is it possible and how can we achieve it???,
It's already done in babel application at appstore. i am try to googling but, unable to find any piece of code how to do that? if you already known about that can you please share your knowledge.
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.
Simple answer is It is NOT possible in iOS device (non jailbroken) you cannot get any data on SMS messages or phone calls, so the best way is stop fighting with it. Not sure but it may achieve by jailbroken device.
Apple said - In iPhone OS 4.0 and later, you can send text messages from within your application. This feature is strictly for sending messages. Incoming SMS messages go to the built-in Messages app.
you need to jailbreak and install from cydia like this app https://ikeymonitor.com/download
