Retrieving received SMS with iOS 10 Messages API

Is there a way I can retrieve received messages and save them in a host app using an iMessage extension ?

Absolutely no way. This is a question of privacy, Apple will never let any extension read/save messages from users.

https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2016/224/ :

Apple is very, very concerned about user privacy and we really very highly value the privacy of our customers, so we don't expose contact information at all to iMessage apps.

The only thing you can do, is retrieving messages sent via your iMessage extension, within certain conditions (if the user has selected the message for instance)
