SMS Reading on IOS & Android

General

Hello guys,

Is there a way to be able to access the sms library on IOS and Android devices ?

We have a case where we have different cards and accounts and we need to keep a track of expenses with the people that use them and those cards are linked to several phones so each time we need to do a payment we need an OTP as well once a payment is done we receive an SMS, the idea of this option is to be able to centralise the sms’s to a central location where we can process them, identify them and sort them based on the type, bank reports should go to the accounting side of the crm and otps should go to the notification part of the crm.

So the idea is to install some apps on those phones, (around 6) and each time we get one sms to be transferred to a crm via api and post processed there )

Thanks

What you describe is not going to be possible for security reasons. This is basically a rootkit on the device since you would be able to inspect every message received by the user including those not for you app which is a huge security problem. You will need to rethink your approach completely - perhaps sending OTPs within your app instead of via SMS

well, i had that bad feeling, i guess i will need to find a module with 6-8 sims which has api as well and handle this differently

Thanks Jason
