I know that iOS used to not allowing background sms.

However, I've come to cross the "Shortcuts" app. In this app, you can send SMS without user interaction. I've search the internet but I am not sure whether there is a new api in ios 12 to send background sms.

Do you know if such an api is now available?

  • Please [search on this topic](https://stackoverflow.com/search?q=%5Bios%5D+send+sms+background), there are many existing questions. – rmaddy Oct 30 '18 at 16:43
  • _"you can send SMS without user interaction"_ – could you please elaborate this? just because in shortcut app (what is Apple own product / feature for iOS 12) the user explicitly needs to set up and allow the shortcut for messaging. – holex Oct 30 '18 at 16:50
  • if you talking about real SMS - then only 3rd party service may help. (for example Twillio). Otherwise - it may be local (or not local) push notification – Kirow Oct 30 '18 at 16:54

No you can't do that without MFMessageComposeViewController, it is restricted by apple so that you stay in control of your messages. You can read this question for more info.
