How can we access message from iMessage ?

Question

Is it possible to access iMessages ? How to send iMessages programmatically ? Apple iOS provide any public API to access or delete Messages ?

Answer 1

It is possible to send messages (Sending an iMessage as simple as possible iOS) but it isn't possible to read and delete messages.

Answer 2

Apple provides this in their SDK through MessageUI, check the Apple documentation: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#samplecode/MessageComposer/Introduction/Intro.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/DTS40010161
