About System Messaging

iOS lets you present a standard email or SMS composition interface from within your app. In both cases, you can programmatically preconfigure the message with recipients and content, which the user can then edit before sending. Outgoing mail and SMS messages are automatically handled by the system’s Mail and Messages queues.
