Differences Between Android and iOS
This warning only applies to API usage for SMS.
We understand that using our application on an iPhone may not offer the same level of freedom as on an Android device.
However, we wanted to ensure that iPhone users are not left out. Here are some key differences between the two platforms:
1) Sending SMS Automatically
| Feature | Android | iOS |
|---|---|---|
| SMS Sending Automation | 100% automated. No need to be near your phone; it can be anywhere in the world. | 50% automated. Apple requires you to confirm the sending of each SMS, meaning you need to be near your phone. |
2) Reading Received SMS
| Feature | Android | iOS |
|---|---|---|
| Access to Received SMS | All received SMS can be read and accessed via API. | iOS completely blocks the reading of received SMS on your iPhone. |
Tip: If you have the opportunity to test our API on an Android system compared to iOS, you will find that the experience is much more enjoyable on Android.
