When I use the Send Text Message from within a Share block, the screen just flashes but no text is sent and it doesn’t open the Messages app on my iPhone. Do I have to enable something else?
I’m guessing this is yet another bug (based on [Unable to send text message from Android](http://community.thunkable.com/t/unable-to-send-text-message-from-android/153626))?

I haven’t tested this is a while @tatiang but can take another look for you.
Are you using Thunkable Live or installing your app on a physical device?

The problem I’m having has something to do with the loop I created before the text message call. When I just have on click --\> send text message, it works. So I’ll need to troubleshoot this a bit.

Hi, @tatiang! 👋
If it’s possible, could you please post a screenshot of the blocks you used?
So we could have a better look on your _loop_ 👍
Thanks!

You know, I got it working and I’m honestly not sure what the problem was. I tried a few variations and it just seemed to fix itself. I wish I could say what I changed!
Here’s the working version:
