if i turn off both iMessage and sms/mms in the Messages tab in my iPhone, what happens? Will I no longer receive any type of text message? and will others receive an undeliverable message when trying to text me?
iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 16
Hey MsOranged,
Turning off iMessages on your iPhone would prevent iMessages from being sent and received while that is disabled.
Disabling SMS messages would stop you from sending and receiving messages but how that actually functions can be different depending on your cellular service provider. We'd recommend reaching out to your carrier for the best information on that.
You can find more information on SMS and iMessage here: What is the difference between iMessage and SMS/MMS? - Apple Support
Thanks!
