  • do you want to access the SMS database of iphone Messages app? – janusfidel Mar 12 '12 at 11:34
  • i dont think you can access the /var/root/Library/SMS/sms.db , not sure though but AFAIK, app is only have access to its own sandbox directory. I would love to make an SPY app for my girlfriend if we can access that database :) – janusfidel Mar 12 '12 at 11:40

It looks like it's possible to read stored messages but you'll also gona have to learn something about SQlite.

Take a look at the links here (the accepted answer and link in the comments): read iphone sms messages?

But this will work only on jail-broken iPhones and certainly will not be approved for App Store.

You'll find the location of database in sebsto's answer to this question: iphone app reading sms

    @Tauseef: you're welcome! And yes, to access this database iPhone has to be jailbraked - it's because this functionality could be abused (app could for example read the messages and send them to remote locationm which is a clear breach of user's privacy) – Rok Jarc Mar 12 '12 at 12:01
