I'm trying to invoke the following url on iOS 11.0 developer preview:

<a href="sms:+24321&body=This%20is%20the%20body">Click Me!</a>

When you click the link above, iOS successfully opens the native iOS Messages application. If the user previously had the iOS Messages app open in the background on their phone, then iOS properly passes in the query parameters contained in the link, e.g.

to:

(24321) and

body:

(This is the body), but if the user does NOT already have iOS Messages open, then iOS opens Messages, but does NOT open a message w/

to

and

body

filled out.

This is not an issue on iOS 10, it seems to have been introduced in iOS 11.
