Hi

I would like to be alle to turn off iMessage for a couple of contacts in my contact list without disabeling the iMessage on my iPhone totally. I found an article that states the following to disable iMessage from one and one contact:

Open the “Messages1. ” app on your iPhone or iPad.

2. Find the conversation with the person you want to turn off iMessage for.

3. Tap and hold on the conversation.

In the pop-up menu, select “More1. .”

Next, tap on the “i1. ” icon located at the top-right corner of the screen.

Toggle off the “iMessage1. ” switch.

A confirmation prompt will appear. Tap “Turn Off1. ” to disable iMessage for that contact.

But I do not have the choise of an iMessage switch. Why is it not where this instructions says it can be found. Can someone help me find this functionallity? Or is this not actually a function on the iPhone.

There is no option for that, you can let Apple know here Product Feedback - Apple
