SendMessage Not Transferring Text Message to SMS

My app was working on my android phone up until recently. Now SendMessage is no populating the text message into the text app on my phone. It is communicating the correct phone number to send the text to ... just not the message itself.

I created a simple Test app. When the Send button is clicked it sets the phone number and message from a text block and then calls SendMessage. In the phones Text app, it opens the text tool to the correct phone number but does not fill in the text.

Please let us know, which Android device and which Android version you are using for your tests. Did you try another device?

It would really help if you provided a screenshot of your relevant blocks, so we can see what you are trying to do, and where the problem may be.

To get an image of your blocks, right click in the Blocks Editor and select "Download Blocks as Image". You might want to use an image editor to crop etc. if required. Then post it here in the community.

Test device - Samsung S23 Ultra

Android v - 16

Currently when I hit Button1 it opens Google Messages to the appropriate contact but it doesn't fill in the provided text for the message.

Up until about three weeks ago, my app would open Google Messages with the correct contact, fill in the provided text and then wait on the user to press send.

I get a similar response on my Android 13 when using the SendMessge Block.

I imagine Google has once again changed the behavior of Texting for security issues and App Inventor's Texting tool does not work :wink: .

DOH!!! Switched phone where the app is installed to Samsung's Messages app and my Text Block worked as expected. Switched back to Google's app and the block stopped working. SMH

THANKS!!!
