Q: Privacy after turning imessage off

I turned off imessages on iphone 6. I want to know that If one persone, who received imessages from me, can see my name or my phone number or my apple id on his/her phone In the list of the messages Or it is the same as telegram which my name will be hidden?

 

IS there any approach to blind my phonenumber? If i deactivate my ipple id or unlink my apple id with my number?

iPhone 6, iOS 9.3.1

    if you've been sending imessage to this contact and they've received them then yes they will see your information.

     

    No there is no way to blind your phone number.  Sounds as if your stalking someone, if you are you should stop it.

    LOL Ramee209, the question does sound a bit suspicious, but assuming positive intent if the person you are texting [iMessage or No] has the number saved that you are texting from saved in their contacts, they will not only see your number but will also know who you are.

     

    Now coming back to the goal being for them to not know who you are...yeah, you're on your own there.

    I Dont want to stalk someone. I want not to stalk me

     

    IN fact, the question is:

    I sent some imessage to someone. Then, i turned imessage off. After that, i turn imessage on with another apple id but the same phone number.

     

    I Want to know, new imessages with new apple id with the same previous phone number will get in the previous page in imessage. I,e, new imeesages will be connected to the previous messages or the new imessages will be received in a new page?

    If you have "Start New Conversation From" selected as your Apple ID and not your phone number, then they will only see your Apple ID when you text them.

     

    An easier way to not be stalked by someone though is to not be the one texting them in the first place.

     

    You can also go to Settings>Phone>Blocked>[add their number to this list] and that way you will receive none of their phone calls or text messages. That would be a much easier means to an ends.

    That would depend on whether you sent the imessage via your phone number or apple id.  IF phone number it doesn't matter if you change id.

     

    IF you sent via apple id and you send them a new message with new apple id it will be a new thread and not continue with old thread.

    You must use an active phone # to use iMessage on an iPhone. Beyond that, you can choose whether you attach an Apple ID to it or not, and even choose if you would like to initiate your iMessage conversations through your Apple ID or your phone #. Your desire to have neither is simply not a possibility. Pure and simple.

     

    Please note: users that own a non-cellular device such as an iPad, iPod Touch, or Mac can activate iMessage without the use of a phone number by design. To provide cellular service is not their default nature.

     

     

    ""IN "send and receive" section, there is only my apple id not my number.

    BUt someone who had only my number not apple id could send me imessage and saw blue my number in contact list.""

     

    There ARE instances where iMessage becomes untethered from your phone number or fails to activate with it. This is not intended and the troubleshooting for such instances can be found in the following article.

    You may also deregister your phone # from iMessage by going here - https://selfsolve.apple.com/deregister-imessage

    Ok now you're starting to make some sense.

     

    You have imessage activated that is why.

     

    If you go to your message and create a new one - in the to field type a: it will show your  A contacts any in blue means they have imessage.

     

    IPhones can tell if your contact is an iPhone user or not.
