Hello I've made an application to send SMS on background using Itoo extension, but I need to hide the popup notification which appear after sending the SMS, can I ?
Is there anyway to stop this notification?
Or an extension can do that?
What about showing us a screenshot of your relevant blocks about how you did it?
My understanding up to now is, that it is not possible to send an sms in the background... probably your understanding of 'background' is different than mine...
It looks like that message is coming from your service provider? I don't think, it is possible to hide it

Thanks for your replay, I guess there is no need to a screenshot, as I explained before, I used to use the extension Itoo (Background extension), to do that, but my problem is to stop the device of showing the popup message that tell you : "You spent 1 SMS and your account .." I've tried so hard to stop this message from appearing on the screen but I didn't reach a solution, so I ask for a help or for an extension can do that for me, thank you so much (the application is too big and long so I you insist to a screenshot I will send to you).
You really do need to show your relevant blocks, how your are sending an SMS message and how your are handling any responses from whereever you are sending it.
Please teach us how you did it and provide only the relevant blocks how you use itoo together with the texting component

OK, I'm so sorry to be late, this is the project aia and you will see how did I use the Itoo extension to send periodically SMS in background, thanks a lot for your interest, thanks a lot.

We asked for an image of your relevant blocks...
What happens, if you try to send a sms in the foreground?
What happens, if you use the default sms app to send a message?
Do you get that popup in both cases?
Did you try another service provider? It looks like you are using a prepaid service?
Taifun
The same, I mean when I send in foreground or in background, same case, this popup notification appear, yes I get that popup in both cases, no I didn't try another service provider, I don't have another one, yes I use a prepaid service.
As you can see, that notification comes from your service provider... unfortunately I do not think, there is a way to hide it
Taifun
Yes, the service provider is the cause, but can we find a way to let the device ignore this kind of notification, or an extension to do that ? for the applications inventor this is not impossible thing, for that I'm so grateful for your help and replay.
There doesn't appear to be anything in your blocks/ in AppInventor that can be causing this, so your phone must be receiving the response directly from your service provider. You will need to look at settings for your notifications, where you can probably block notifications from your service provider, or look at settings on your account with them.

I'm very surprised that Texting component works with Itoo. Back then I spent many days trying to get the Texting component to work with Itoo.
Edit:
Hi @Hassan_Antonios_Saad,
I may be going a bit off topic, but have you tested the Texting component with the latest version of Itoo? I see that you are using version 4.0 from December 2023.
I guess there is a problem with the latest version of Itoo, maybe the last version doesn't work properly
I'd tried hardly to get the extension (old one which works with my application) I guess it's : Extension Version: Itoo Sky 4 Date Built: 2023-12-28, can you help to get it again ? because there is no way to copy or move an extension from application to another one, thanks for your interest and for your creative extension Itoo.

Sure:
You can always get the old versions by searching the Itoo topic.
Actually it was a hard work to make Itoo work with sending periodically SMS in background, but finally I get that, you can see the project aia, for me it works properly.
