We've covered various methods for making the switch as easy as possible, but here's my routine for disabling iMessage. The person who sent the message thinks you got it, and you have no idea it was sent. What kind of issues? Incoming messages from iOS users are lost in an iMessage black hole, undelivered to your new device, and neither you or the sender know any better. But it is known for causing issues when a user decides to leave iOS behind and jump ship to another platform. The platform is fast, reliable and offers a better experience than standard text messaging. Once enabled, you can message fellow Apple users from all of your Apple devices without skipping a beat, along with sending regular text messages to your 'other' friends. For those who are on the fence about jumping outside of Apple's ecosystem and testing another mobile platform, the first thing you should worry about is kicking iMessage to the curb.Īpple's proprietary messaging platform connects your phone number, email address(es) and Apple ID to Apple's servers.
