Hi,

For some reason I cannot enable SOS via SMS  Both options to set Numbers and test are greyed out.

I have OruxMaps 8.1.7 GP and an Android 11 Phone It is a dual sim with two cards.
I confirmed that all permisions requested by Orux Maps are granted to the App. But none is related to SMS messages.

I'm also logged in to an OruxMaps Account. Not sure if that would be a reason for it not to work.

Is there something missing in order to enable SOS via SMS?

Thank you.

I have the same issue.

Any idea?

Thanks!

Hi,
i think this "SMS feature" is grayed out (not available) due to restrictions on Apps coming from the Google Playstore.
Here https://www.oruxmaps.com/cs/en/ i was reading OruxMaps from the Amazon App store is not having that restriction.

Same problem with version 8.5.4 GP, but it works on the 8.5.2beta3.

The problem is Google Play restrictions. They don't allow apps to get the send SMS messages if the app is not a phone app.
Because of that, I can let that feature in beta or Amazon version, or free versions. All the versions that are not published in Google Play.
