Q: iPhone to Android iMessage bug fix

I was having the problem when i switched from my iPhone to my Galaxy s4 where people using iPhones would try to text me and it wouldn't get to me because it would be sent in iMessage. Well i asked one of my friends who knows a lot about Apple products and he seems to have found a fix. What worked for me is to open iTunes, then go to account. Once there find the the section "iTunes in the cloud" and the option in there "Manage my devices". You have to go in there and remove your iPhone from the iCloud and that should work, or at least it did for me.

    Back to this conversation, it is a bug for Apple devices to have new group conversations with new saved phone numbers that are not registered on iMessage servers resort to iMessage.  This causes it so that Android users miss out on group conversations.  I would love for Apple to issue a bug fix to check that all phone numbers are registered with iMessage before switching away from MMS.

    It is a bug for Microsoft that when people type in my name in their email my old email account pulls up and microsoft servers resort to microsoft email. Bad microsoft bad. That causes people to email to my old email and I would live Microsoft to issue bug fix and wipe my friends computers so they do not keep switching to old email.

    That isn't the same at all.

     

    An equivalent would be if you change from iCloud email to gmail and everyone edits their contact list to record the new email.  But everytime a group email list is sent with icloud emails involved, your email is auto changed from @gmail to @iCloud.  Even that isn't quite equal because iCloud email will communicate with any other email and iMessage won't.

     

     

    I don't know that I would call it a bug, but I can't say it isn't a bug either.  as mentioned, group messages are carrier controlled.   For example, AT&T limits groups to 10 .  If you have 30 people to contact you have to send 3 messages.

    i Have several apple devices, but an android phone.  I have noticed  iMessage turns on by itself on occasion on my iPad, which I don't use for messaging.

    Unless every iPhone user unregisters from iMessage and never uses it again, they will continue to send messages through a system that only iphone users can use.

    I have an annoying friend and somehow in group messages my messages to him become imessages, despite the fact that me and him have android phones.

    I thank you kindly for your valuable expertise and explanations, but please do not deprive me of my entertainment nightly

    Come back when people delete your old email address and old email threads from their computer, compose a new email to your correct gmail address, and their windows computer prevents it from sending to gmail and routes it to your Hotmail address instead.

     

    That would be a bug like this Apple bug.

    Do you not understand the issue, or is there a different reason why you are trying to obfuscate the existence of this bug with straw men posts?

    I understand both, I understand what the bug issue is and I understand what the idiom bringing something to light means.

    I both understand what the bug issue is, and I am bringing light to the bug issue in hopes that someone can fix or find a remedy (that doesn't involve having the world turn off iMessage).


    I would love it if deregistering iMessage again in their servers would prevent me from missing group texts from iPhone users, but alas my number is not registered and I can do nothing on my end to be able to receive group texts.
