imessage

Hi, I've been trying to find a way to transfer SMS automatically from my phone to my email. I could do it on my android phone (SMS forward app), but not on my new iPhone. The closest option I found was a built-in setting for *iMessage* forwarding, configured only for authorized devices in my...

Hello, I have an iPhone and a Mac desktop and a Mac laptop. My contacts do not sync properly--contacts added to my iPhone do not appear on my desktop or laptop. Consequently my messages don't show my contacts on my desktop. I use iCloud to back everything up (the same iCloud account). This...

hi, i am having an issue with texts/imessage disappearing as soon as i've sent them. Is it an indication that this person has blocked me? The time stamps remain but the sent messages disappear a second after i hit send and they've visible in the message thread. My storage isnt full, imessages...

I use to be able type people's name and their contact information would appear in the keyboard word suggestions (i.e. "Jason's number is" would pop up). I can't remember when it started breaking, but there are maybe 4 or 5 contacts it still works for but for no one else (I have around 917...

Hello, I’m kindly asking the community on a iMessage topic and more so just about iOS 16 iMessage feature such as Editing messages. Are you happy with the current implementation? If so, why? Me personally would have preferred if it was like this below (feel free to disagree in the comments)...

My local carrier started offering esim and I have been needing to add my work phone to my phone. Since swapping my physical sim to esim, imessage and facetime wont activate on my number. I have tried calling apple and went through all the steps, went to my carrier and even swapped to a physical...

Is anyone having trouble deleting texts on iPhone 13 with IOS 16? I have a thread of 2 messages that is stuck on my phone and when deleting it just does nothing. Tried deleting every way via iPhone. Tried resetting phone, no luck.

Did a direct transfer from my iPhone 12 Pro Max to the iPhone 14 pro max. Everything went smoothly until I realized that none of my attachments in messages had come over. They appeared in the messages when you scroll but not under the contact info at the top. Did a bunch of research and found...

Hi Everyone, Yes I know 16.0.1 is out that addresses the issue, but what i'd like to know is there anyway to recover the missing messages from the period where iOS 16.0 was unable to activate yesterday. From the period i opened my new phone to when 16.0.1 patch was installed and imessage was...

iPhone 11 Pro user here. I just updated to iOS 16. I’m trying to share a webpage to my iMessage group chat using the ‘share’ icon in Safari, but when I type the first few letters of the group name, the auto-complete doesn’t find the name of the group. It’s like it doesn’t exist even though the...

Greetings! As a developer beta tester for Apple, I had the ability to test iOS 16 on June 6 - Present day. Now I would like to talk about the big feature of iOS 16, unsending and editing messages. I was really looking forward to this feature, until I saw that editing and unending for me does...

I deleted all my iMessage data and conversations, but it still shows 286MB. However, I do not know what is in these 286MB, how can I delete this data or get it deleted?

Hi MR peeps! I’m looking to buy a used iPad for my elderly mom to be able to receive texts/iMessages from the family (all iPhone users at this point), but wondered what’s the oldest year model to start at as I start looking in the marketplace/eBay/etc…? I’d like to go larger than a mini, if...

Am I missing something or has sending a voice message has gotten horribly complicated in iOS/iPadOS 16? The tiny microphone in the input field only invokes speech to text now via a tap, while this is used in all other messaging app as a button to start recording a voice message. Tapping and...

This just started happening recently and it's driving me crazy. When I send or receive a twitter link in iMessage, the preview no longer shows. It just seems to affect Twitter links, but it is happening on my Mac, iPhone, iPad, as well as my wife's devices. And it just happens on my home WiFi...

For some reason I no longer get notifications when my wife sends me iMessages. I’ve checked every single setting everywhere. The Settings app, do not disturb, her contact card, you name it, I’ve checked it several times. (Do Not Disturb/Focus is turned on overnight, but no other time.) I...

I have all conversations deleted on all my apple devices. Newest Mac OS and iOS installed. Tried sign in and off with Apple ID. Still showing these 286,2 MB of data but no conversions etc. Is there any way to delete all to zero Data?

Anyone else having an issue where Messages will revert back to Text Message when composing or sending an iMessage? Sometimes the entire iMessage chat will show as sent as text message (green) when it wasn’t. Forcing Messages closed seems to fix it for a while then it randomly comes back. I...

Hello, I recall on the iOS 15 keynote they had mentioned that Focus mode would also be available for group message. I am being notified on all my group messages even though I only have 5 members that I am allowing. The 5 allowed are not on any of the group messages, so why am I still receiving...

I know this is an age old question but I've been trying everything and can't get this to work. Any detailed instruction on steps I need to take and settings I need to check would be appreciated: I'm sure there is a way to get non-iMessage text messages to delete from the Messages app on my Mac...
