Hi, i have tried to build an easy block for sending text, but i can’t send the text automatically without pushing the actual button “SEND” again on the phone. I want the messages to be sent when i press the button on the app, i dont want to press “SEND” it again while opening the SMS section on my phone. I hope i made it clear. When i press the button on the app, the code will work for sending the texts, but it will open the SMSapp and i’ll need to press “send” again. ---

It is literally just this block. ![helpthunkable](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/e/9/e95a41d334ff54a77fa39415403336631fa70698.png) ---

The code works good, but that’s not the problem. Well it opens the SMS app with the message “Prova” ready to be sent to the number. But i still need to press “SEND” on the phone in order to send it. I want the texts to be sent just clicking Button1, if possible. ---

This is the way that texting works in Thunkable. It’s far from ideal but it’s the limitation that’s in place. ---

What about Whatsapp? Im using the code Whatsapp API provides, but, again it opens the chat and still needs to click “SEND” button ---

This is a limitation/feature of the operation system. This is used to prevent downloaded apps sending messages on your behalf without your consent. ---
