Is it possible to send an SMS message from an iOS app to the current caller when a call is in progress?


I have searched and have not been able to find a definitive answer. I know that it is not possible to get the phone number of the current caller using Objective-C, but I don't need the number.

I want to send a text message to the current caller. Does iOS have a method to allow you to send a text message from an app to the current caller.

The scenario is this:

  • End user calls another user

  • They put the person they called on speaker phone and navigate to my app

  • The app has a button that allows them to share information via SMS to the person they are talking to while they are talking to them without having to do anything more than click a button (the user doesn't have to type the other person's phone number manually to send the SMS).


Solution

  • The answer is No.

    Apple will never allow you this.
