That’s great to know. Do you mind sharing more details about how you got it working?

Emma0122,
Thanks for posting. You say you are happy with the result. Does that mean you were able to get it working? Do you mind sharing the code you used? Thanks.

I can get a widget to run, but. I still can’t find the right module or API to “select messages” from the text messages app. I’m starting simple and looking for that function first. Manually it is accessed by selecting the 3 dots in the top right and then clicking select messages.

Thanks for the help. I am trying that example. Would happen to know what API I would use for selecting the group message and then marking it as read? I still can’t find it.

Pyto app looks good. Just can’t figure out where to start with the code. I guess it would be a widget.

I will checkout Pyto app. Thanks. I am on a group text thread that is mildly important for me to check every so often. But I don’t want to see the number of unread messages that builds up if I don’t look at. It gets pretty high pretty fast. What I want to do is simply mark all the messages as read, anytime a message comes in on that text group. I can’t leave the group since it is a mix of Android and IOS users.

Thank you for your reply. Is there any help you could give me in starting the script? I’m not sure which API to use?

I was wondering if somebody could help me. I’m trying to write a script that will automatically select a specific group texts and market as read automatically at a certain time every day. Is there anyway to do that? I’ve looked a lot in the documentation and I can’t seem to find what I’m looking for if anybody can help me get started that would be really helpful thank you so much for any help you can give me!

Thanks for the help everyone. I did learn a lot, and that is a win!

Well, the airdop script worked great, just for sound though. It showed my apple TV, but only for speaker use. I looked for screen mirroring in accessibility, and couldn't find a shortcut there.
