Discussion

Create an INSendMessageIntent and donate it in an INInteraction when the user sends a message directly in your app. When the user initiates sending a message from outside your app, such as asking Siri or tapping a contact in the Share Sheet, the system creates the intent and provides it to your intent handler.
