For iOS can you force SMS over MMS programmatically

I have a iOS app that is using the standard MFMessageComposeViewController to send a text with URL in it to people. Looking at the iPhone settings you can turn on MMS. Is there a way to force sending SMS even if the phone settings have MMS turned on when launching MFMessageComposeViewController?

Solution

  • There's no way to force anything unfortunately. You just get a message compose view that does what it does. Although, it should use SMS by default unless you add media.
