Not getting texts after switching from iPhone to Android? Here's the fix!

  • If you've succumbed to the temptations of Android - or even Windows Phone or BlackBerry - there are some steps you need to take to make sure the iPhone friends you leave behind can still reach you. iMessage works by routing iPhone to iPhone messages through Apple's servers instead of sending them as actual text messages. Unfortunately, unless you tell it to stop doing this, iMessage has no way of knowing you've left, at least until it times out after a couple weeks, and that's beyond frustrating. Luckily, deactivating it is easy. Here's how!

    That's Apple for you right there...Why the fuck did they need to create this iMessage thing that nobody hears about until you decide to leave the iWorld

    I love this video because it mentions something crucial. Doing it early! Also shows you how to check before you even get the new phone! Such good video for this type of problem. Usually people do it the day they swap phones and is a big mess.

    Thank you! Know this video is 7 years old, but my son switched from iPhone to android a week ago, and my messages were still going to his old phone. Worked correctly after doing as you said. Appreciate it!

    What do I do if I already hand in my phone and forgot to switch off messages from my iPhone?

    is this still an issue? I hated this about iPhones. Just got the OnePlus 7 Pro today and want to make sure before i swap.

      It is. Just got the 7T yesterday and my iPhone was still getting messages. This did the trick and messages are coming through

    but what about "after" like when you trade in your iPhone for new Android, so you no longer have access to mobile iOS?

    What happens if I am using an HTC one, but still have an iPad, as well as a macbook? Do I have to shut it off for all products?

    • @NJgirl4eva89
      @NJgirl4eva89 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Nerd Idk if this is too late or not, but you have to turn BOTH iMessage and FaceTime off on ALL of your Apple products to start getting the messages on your Android phone

    Do you turn off imessages with your sim card still in the iPhone, or does it matter?

      Pastor's Closet if you actually use the correct method (selfsolve.apple.com/deregister-imessage) apple’s site vaguely says a couple of hours.

    I was using my old iPhone for a while because of this issue. I would text someone on my android and if they had an iPhone that reply would go to my old iPhone. So I had to double fist for a while until I did this. So thanks. The reason I kept my old iPhone was for the gym and it’s situations where if it got messed up I wouldn’t care.

    You have to de register your actual phone number, not just turn iMessage off on your phone. Doing that only turns it off on the phone itself, the iMessages are still being sent to your account

      Hello Nathan, correct. I am still having the same issue, I feel the problem is if you belong to a group. For example, when you had the iPhone, you were in a group with other iPhone users and android users. The person needs to delete the group thread from their phone and start again. This is the solution but it is a terrible one.

  • @bikeman123

    Stupid system. Surely Apple know the imessage delivery is failing, why can't they automatically fallback to text? Smacks of trying to lock user in to their platform.
