Application openurl sms parameters

Archived Forums Questions & Answers

Hi , I wanted to send an sms by clicking a button. I can use Application.OpenURL(“sms:”+ phoneNumber); to send the sms , but this way the application directs to sms messaging app and only fills out the number , but I want to also fill the message content. How can I add more parameters to that? in email you can use ? to add parameters , but how is it done in sms ? is there a reference for that?

I’ll appreciate if you can help me with this.

thanks

string url = String.Format(“sms:{0}?body={1}”, numbers, message);

It appears to have changed in iOS 8. Now you need to do &body instead of ?body.
