iMessage disabled for reported spam, can apple please clear this up or add a way to become ‘apple verified’?
My iMessage feature was disable a year ago, due to my text message being reported as spam. After support helped me reactive iMessages, it happened again a year later. Now I have to wait for a review that can take 5 days before I get an update. There has to be a better way for apple to verify a phone number with the carrier prior to disabling iMessage. I get that spamming iPhone users is a real thing, but if someone doesn’t have a number saved in their phone, why is the option so easy to hit? Can’t they just give the user an option of blocking it instead? I easily send 200-500 texts a day, as this is my primary form of communication for everyone I work with. It’s sad, I love apple and have since my first iphone in 2007. Now having the majority of my products being apple, I just feel like they don’t care about the consumer anymore. All it took was a few lazy people who just report it as spam or even accidentally reported it as spam, has my work come to a stop, while I wait for a review. With the newer ‘share name & photo’ feature, how can that not be used to consider if I’m a iMessage criminal or if I’m a victim of someone hitting the spam button, hopefully by mistake instead of just deleting the message. Please apple find another way, or add some kind of apple verified feature.
