Guided by that same bit of info (my friend has a car that does that) I thought so too.
However, it's not actually available.
It might sound like I'm being snarky (due to quickly replying) but I'm just giving the facts I've found. Everywhere I look they actually say you cannot do this -- and I am tending to believe them now after reading all the items below and more.
I asked a question on SO -- which was supposedly a duplicate:
iphone - Read SMS message in iOS - Stack Overflow[^]
And there are tons of people asking this question.
iphone - Read SMS message in iOS - Stack Overflow[^]
iphone - How to read sms message on iOS? - Stack Overflow[^]
and many more...
These and all are answered like this :
Quote: No. You can't do that on iOS
Also note that Xamarin talks about sending an iOS message but not reading:
Send an SMS or iMessage - Xamarin[^]
However, the Android Xamarin docs show you how to read also -- since underlying API supports it.
The bluetooth thing is a bit different. I have worked with bluetooth on both Android and iOS so if I could even find out how to do this by building a device I pair with iPhone I would do that too. But that info is even more difficult to find.
Thanks,

The comments in the solution are interesting, explaining that Pebble et al can read SMS.
Heck why are they sandboxing it from apps, yet allow the receiving over BT?

That's exactly what I wondered about too. It feels as if insiders can get the functionality but indie devs are out. Android is nicer because it is more open most of the time. But of course many will say more dangerous. Give me danger then!

Very cool! Any chance of a CP article for us mere mortals?
Thanks!

Odd - I wanted to post a comment but it seems there's no way to do so. I'm logged in and can vote for the article but the Comments forum is (understandably) empty and there's no way to enter a new comment or ask a question. Anyway, I think the first occurence of this line is misplaced (i.e a typo), since you're referencing message even though it might be null.
from = message.getOriginatingAddress(); /ravi

CP is behaving poorly just now. I had to post my article 3 or 4 times.
1st time, images didn't show. 2nd time it failed with hamsters.
3rd time it worked but the attached source was lost.
4th time, I think everything is right now. Sheesh.
Thanks for reading my article and taking time to provide feedback.
I will check out that line of code.

Jeeze, you mean I gotta do work!?!
The screenshot wouldn't tell much, anyway. The little red number isn't there, so a screenshot won't show it.
