import SmsReader from "react-native-sms-reader";

export const ReadSMSComponent: FC = () => {
  const startReadSMS = async () => {
    const hasPermission = await SmsReader.requestReadSMSPermission();
    if (hasPermission) {
      SmsReader.startReadSMS((status, sms, error) => {
        if (status == "success") {
          console.log("Great!! you have received new sms:", sms);
        }
      });
    }
  };

    if (hasPermission) {
      SmsReader.startReadSMS((status, sms, error) => {
        if (status == "success") {
          console.log("Great!! you have received new sms:", sms);
