Answer 1

You need to remove the '//' in your url and add a '?' : mailto:[email protected]?subject=abcdefg&body=body

it just fill email adress – Bodleian

Check this – Cohbath

Works fine on my device. Are you on Android ? Have you changed the url with the '?' as per my example ? – Cohbath

Tip: If you want to use spaces in your subject or body you need to wrap your message in encodeURIComponent to replace the space to %20 e.g. mailto:[email protected]?subject=${encodeURIComponent("This is a subject")} github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/… – Proffer

Answer 2

Here are my cases:

• SMS link:

return (Platform.OS === 'android') ? sms:1-408-555-1212?body=yourMessage : sms:1-408-555-1212&body=yourMessage;

• Mail link:

return (Platform.OS === 'android') ? mailto:[email protected]?cc=?subject=yourSubject&body=yourMessage : mailto:[email protected]?cc=&subject=yourSubject&body=yourMessage;

Note: your mail url must contain cc= even if you don't have any cc emails.

• iOS: you use ?
• android: you use &

for the first parameter.

Did you intend to say, iOS use '&' and Android '?' before 'subject='. developer.apple.com/library/archive/featuredarticles/… – Mantellone

@EdoftheMountain Before body (SMS) and subject (Mail link). Really sorry for the late reply. – Diagnostic
