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.

We have an IoS APP that can send and email and attach a file that was created by the app.
It has worked fine for long but now a user says it is not possible. It seems like the users at this company are not allowed to use Apple Email so they are using Outlook.
I have now heard that the IoS APPs requires Apple Email to send emails. I just thought that was a bit strange and wanted to ask if there are ways so that the APP can use Outlook instead.
Apps aren't required to use Apple's mail API, but if you want to use something else then you have to do it yourself. Apple won't stop you from using Outlook but they won't help you either. Outlook has its own API that can be used by third party apps. There are various questions on StackOverflow from people using that API.
How does Fitbit app detect and show incoming SMS messages (including the text) on my watch for iOS? The only info I found it involves jailbreaking, but Fitbit (and all other watches companion apps) do the same without the need of jail break?
Thanks
Sort answer, it does not.
Your fit bit is a bluetooth device with the message extensions, this allows iOS to send notifications to you watch.
It does not go thru the app.
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.
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
Can you point me to a method which allow an app read sms messages while the app is active.
I know many people say it's not possible, but Drivesafe.ly does it and I know some bank apps do that. The only condition for that to work is that the app is currently active (shown on the screen).
Many thanks!
Iam afraid its still not possible on iPhone. If you check the iTunes page for Drivesafe.ly app, there is a notice about that.
It says:
...the application does not read native text messages out loud that come directly from your wireless carrier. Unfortunately, this is not technically possible on iOS devices today...
