Send sms using a different app?

[tarodumpling]

I have a second phone number app that requires me to send a message once per week to keep the free number. Is there a way to make the app send a sms to my own phone number when the screen is locked? Thanks!

Unless you set that apps as default SMS (even then I doubt it can work) you'll need to use UI interaction action to click. UI interaction action needs the screen to be on and the device to be unlocked

Ah, I see. It's a separate app without the ability to be set as default, so I guess it's not gonna work. Thank you!

You could consider using MacroDroid to unlock your phone using UI Interaction gestures to swipe your lock screen and then use more UI Interaction actions to interact with the SMS app. This is the only way it will be possible.

I was able to make it work with your advice, thanks!
