Read MMS Messages

1. Automate Community
2. Business

This requires the permission to read text messages. You will have to go through your Automate settings to find it. There are two permissions listed in the settings that fit the description, so make sure the correct one is checked.

This is based off https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3012287/how-to-read-mms-data-in-android

The page mentions there being a simpler way using content://mms-sms/conversations (making MMS and sms easy to treat as the same), but that method only shows sms messages on my phone.

Because there is supposedly no documentation for how to read MMS, some guesses had to be made on how the data is structured. Therefore there is some potential that some information collected could be wrongly interpreted. This flow was tested with group messages. It can identify the send time of MMS, the text of the MMS, all addresses included in the MMS (in case of group messages), and the senders address. This flow replaces addresses with names from the phone book if there are matches.

This perhaps could be used with the content changed block to await a future message. This block is included and unconnected in the flow with the needed content uri.

The flow iterates through the ten most recent MMS messages.
