Accessing contact info of Incoming calls/sms

Question

Hi,

I want to confirm if it is allowed to access the Contact Info of Incoming Calls/SMS programmatically. Are developers allowed to access and retrieve the contact info of incoming calls or sms. Is there any API available for this. Thanks

Taimur.

Answer 1

You can access Contact info via a published API. But you can't access any info about an incoming SMS or call to use to look up in Contacts, at least in any app running on a stock OS and that complies with the SDK agreement. The app is in a sandbox.

Answer 2

There is no API for what you want.
