I am wanting to disable messages forwarding but I don’t have it at all on IPad 7th Generation or iPhone 11. Any ideas? Thanks!
iPhone 11, iOS 13
Yes, thank you. I don’t have the forward text message choice at all. On either device. I was wondering if it had anything to do with my update to 13.5.1? I’d post a screenshot but it has personal info on it.
I don't see the status of the 'iMessage' switch in your screenshots.. is it turned on?
Do you have the option 'Send & Receive'? if so, when you go into that menu does it show your Apple ID up top indicating that you are signed into your Apple ID for Messages?
Thanks for the reply. Yes, it’s on . I didn’t include screenshot because it has my phone number under for Send and Receive. . It did, yes but I’ve just changed password and it’s asked me to update settings twice. I’m just about to enter new password for second time. I’ll check then. ID is not currently showing but phone number is. I’ll reply in a moment. Thanks for the help.
I don't think you should need to change a password..
Have you tried turning off iMessage, wait a minute and then turn it back on?
If I turn off my iMessage, the forwarding option disappears. When I turn the switch back on, it says activating briefly, and then the forwarding option appears
Inside the send & receive menu, if I click on the Apple ID, it has the option to sign out.. I presume I'd be able to sign back in once signing out. Have you tried this?
Maybe also try turning off iMessage, hard reboot, then turn back on?
oi, I hate this level 1 crap.. sometimes it makes me wait 10 minutes to send a response!
I digress.. so my phone was acting a bit finicky with the forwarding option if I didn't have 'start new conversations' from my phone number. Try making sure that the phone number is selected to start new conversations from. I think you'd generally want that selected anyways
Hi,
okay, I did turn off messages in both devices and did a hard reset. No forwarding yet. I’m not in a position to lose any data right now and I was told I could if I signed out and in again. I also was told that if it’s not here, it can’t be on, so I shouldn’t be concerned. I’d just like to be able to toggle it off. So, that’s the word. Maybe I’ll post about losing data if you sign out and back in. Thank you so much for your help. Happy 4th... if you’re in the states :).
Happy 4th to you too! I am in the states.. MN
No, ID. Yes on phone number. FaceTime, no ID. My name on iCloud settings, yes, correct ID.
No, forwarding option yet. Change my password again?
I haven’t tried any of those steps. I will now. Thank you so much for all the assistance. Going through steps now.
Hi! I had to change password after all. I had a few hiccups related to server. I spoke within ,an advisor and he walked me through some steps. in settings but can’t that far pppp
That post needed some clean up! I’m going try your steps and see how it goes. If it works you should post them in Tips. This was a tough one!! I’ll let you know. how it goes.
I take it the MN is Minnesota? I’m in WA. and I’ve noticed this is the US edition, not that everyone here in the states celebrates but in general....Lol. Thanks for the assistance earlier.
