Changes to iMessage in ios 8.3

Has anyone else noticed a change in the way iMessages are displayed as a notification in iOS 8.3?  Particularly when I get a group message, it shows who the message is addressed to. (Ex. To: "you", "someone", "someone", "someone").  Its very helpful to see right from the notification.

What I did to fix the problem is: Go to your contacts and create a contact for yourself. Make sure you enter your name, your phone number and your apple ID email address. Then go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > scroll down to CONTACTS then select "My Info" > select the contact for yourself. Hopefully this works for you!

  • My iPhone 6  is deleting contacts after sending them a message on iMessage, using iOS 8.1.2

    Hi All,
    My iPhone 6+ is deleting contacts after sending them a message on iMessage, using iOS 8.1.2.
    Is anyone else having this problem? Does anyone have a fix?
    It was not doing this until today.

    Hi Virkit,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  It sounds like you have already tried some of the troubleshooting steps below.  If your Touch ID is not able to enroll any of your fingers, it may need to be serviced.
    Use Touch ID on iPhone and iPad - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-is/HT5883
    Get help with Touch ID
    Make sure that you're using the latest version of iOS.
    Make sure that your fingers and the Home button are clean and dry.*
    Cover the Home button completely. Don't tap too quickly, don't press down hard, and don't move your finger while Touch ID is scanning. Make sure that your finger touches the metal ring around the Home button.
    If you're using a case or screen protector, make sure it doesn't cover the Home button or the surrounding ring. If it does, remove the case or screen protector and try again.
    Tap Settings > Touch ID & Passcode and make sure that iPhone Unlock or iTunes & App Store is on. Also make sure that you've enrolled one or more fingerprints.
    Try enrolling a different finger.
    If you can't enroll any of your fingers, take your device to an Apple Retail Store, Apple Authorized Service Provider, or contact AppleCare for help.
    * Moisture, lotions, sweat, oils, cuts, or dry skin might affect fingerprint recognition. Certain activities can also temporarily affect fingerprint recognition, including exercising, showering, swimming, cooking, or other conditions or changes that affect your fingerprint.

  • How do I change the iMessage phone number on my iPad.

    Hello:
    I've searched and can't find this exact problem in any other thread. How do I change the iMessage phone nubmer on my iPad. It is NOT the same as my iTunes phone number.
    My wife and I share an AppleID. When I updated my iPad to iOS6 her phone number became my iMessage phone number. Now, I get all her iMessages between her and her contacts and not my own. The email is still my iTunes account email.

    If you go to General>Messages>ReceiveAt and then add an additional Apple ID, if you dont have an other Apple ID, you will have to create a new one. Also, if you dont want to receive your current messages, you can remove the number/Apple ID, but only if you have 2 or more Receiving accounts. (including your current) If you dont want to use iMessage at all, just simply switch iMessage from "On" to "Off"
    Hope this helped,
    From hamishryan6

  • How do I sync iMessage on iOS with Messages on OSX Lion?

    This morning, an Update for Messages on OSX was announced.
    I just downloaded the Beta and it is running quite well.
    There is one last question!
    How do you sync iMessage on iOS with Messages on OSX Lion.
    Example:
    I'm texting with Jana on my Mac - but I can't see this conversation on my iPhone / iPad even tho´ the email adress is added in my "iMessages-Settings" on iPhone/iPad.
    I also can't start a conversation on my iOS devices and continue them on my Mac.
    Anybody out there knowing what to do?
    Best regards from Germany.

    Hi,
    I contacted my son on his iPhone by his number.
    He did not have his email linked to his Apple ID
    When he did that he could message me with that ID rather then the phone number.

    no… the way to confirm is make sure in settings>messages>send and receive that all the apple ids are different in there.

    This isn't an issue. Notice the screen prior to the one that shows usage has an iCloud section and a Manage Storage button. For this button to activate ios needs to download a few kb from icloud. Switching back to this screen forces ios to download those few kb.

  • Cannot activate iMessage after iOS update.

    Cannot activate iMessage after iOS update. "Activation unsuccessful" I cannot activate it.

    Have you updated your iOS to 5.1? Just confirming as it says "iPhone 4S, iOS 5.0.1" in your thread.
    Double check if you have credit in your mobile in order to activate iMessage.
    Turn iMessage off and on again, than turn off your phone (long press display off and on button) and slide to turn off. Turn your phone back on, enter your "Apple I.D" in the iMessage window and wait till it verifies everything.
    Tell us if it solves the issue.

  • IMessage between iOS devices?

    I understand that using iMessage between iOS handset devices shows the conversation in blue, while the text messaging is in green, but Apple mentioned this iMessage can be implemented onto other iOS devices like iMac, MacBook Air, etc.  Anyone know how/if you can put iMessage on those systems to allow for messaging to another iOS device?

    There is currently no iMessage implementation for OS X devices. So, no.
