Dictating written messages in iMessage, Viber, WhatsApp.

Dictation: the ability to dictate written messages (i. e. not sound files!) in iMessage, Viber, WhatsApp come and go for no apparent reason. The button alternates between grey=inactive and black=active. Why? What can be done to correct this?
This occurs on both an iPhone 5 and an Iphone 4S who both run the latest IOS 8.1.

Ok, which phone is showing this issue? Your phone or the company phone? When you open the iMessegas app, is it all blank or are past messages there?
If it's the company phone, I would suspect that they are monitoring the messages from a remote source. As I was trying to get at with the same AppleID on both phones. It's possible that they have that AppleID on that phone on another device. Such as a Mac computer. When I am home, I normally use my Mac Mini to send/receive messages. Most of the time my phone doesn't do anything. But the messages are synced up. If I don't have the iMessage window open on my Mac Mini and a message comes in, both the Mac Mini and phone will alert me. The message will be on the display of the phone in the lock screen. I would then open the window on the Mac Mini, then a few seconds later the message is gone off of the lock screen. Because it knew that I read it on another device.
If you know the password for the company's phone AppleID. I would change it, see if any one says anything. :-)
Heck, if it's your personal phone. Change the password for your AppleID as well.

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.

Sorry, I've forgotten the actions done.
I've restarted the iphone, and I've recovered a previous backup.
Thanks.

Text messages and imessages marked as delivered yet not received since last update. I cannot make sense of the troubleshooting page, why does this complex machine not just work?.

I updated my iphone -again, and now my girlfriend (and who knows who else) is not reliably receiving messages. I try sending as iMessage and as SMS and have iMessage checked in my options and send as text message if iMessage doesn't work also checked. It was working fine, I updated, now it's patchy at best and although messages are marked as delivered they aren't and I don't know unless I phone the recipient up. Have tried restarting, resetting and digging through the trouble shooting pages... Apple products used to just work, now my phone is like a puzzle that I have to solve. I'm ditching apple in October when my contract is up but would like to send texts in the meantime, any ideas?

Awesomez. Thanks apple support community, very helpful indeed. About as helpful as a phone that stops sending texts after the manufacturers update it. No worries though, I got a HTC yesterday, put my sim in and guess what? It works. Close this thread down thanks mods.

I am unable to send any messages on iMessage

i am unable to send any messages on iMessage. I have never used it before so maybe I haven't set it up properly? When I choose a person to send a message to its fine, but when I type the message, the send button is grey and my message won't send.
My iPod is a 5th gen, 32 GB, iOS 8.1.2
Please help me get it working.

Can you receive Messages?

I am having some trouble with receiving messages from iMessage users when I don't have my iMessage turned on. When I called for support, I spent 30 min waiting and the woman's response to me was "Turn on your iMessage." I prefer not to use it

I have an iPhone 5s and a MacBook Pro. Ever since I updated my computer software to Yosemite, it linked my Apple ID with my phone number and I am not receiving messages from iMessage users on my phone, but rather to my computer. I don't like to use iMessage so I keep it off and would like to receive all messages as SMS texts. I have already tried changing my Apple ID password, logging off of my Apple ID in iMessage on my phone and turning it off, and changing settings on messages on my computer. Nothing is working. Either the messages continue to go to my computer or the messages trying to be sent say they cannot be sent.
After spending 30 + minutes waiting for technical support, the woman helping me (who did not give me her name) told me I should just turn on iMessage. After explaining that I don't like having iMessage on and asking why it worked for at least a year up until this point she said "things change and sometimes we don't know why things do what they do". She asked me about various other things on my phone such as bluetooth and told me to turn on and off airplane mode and the call disconnected. I have not been contacted since, even though she has my phone number.
I am hoping for some help and also hoping people don't get the type of service I received tonight.

I think you can solve your problems by removing your AppleID email address from BOTH the Messages setting on your iPhone and the iMessages settings on your Mac.
On iPhone:
Settings > Messages > iMessage > Dissabled
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > touch the "(i)" < touch "Remove This Email"
On Mac:
Open "Messages" application
Click "Messages menu > Preferences
Click "Accounts"
Select your AppleID account
Under the "You can be reached for messages at" settings, uncheck your AppleID email address and your phone number
Then uncheck the "Enable this account" setting
And lastly, ask all of your friends with iPhones to delete all iMessage conversations (blue bubbles) in their entirety.
To test, send a friend a new text using their phone number (not their email address) and watch the color of the bubble. If it's green then you are using SMS.

I have Iphone 5 and have an issue with deleting part of the messages in Imessage conversation. The trash button is not displayed to delete part of the imessage. I see only delete all option. Is it a bug?

Hi An Iphone user,
If you are having issues deleting a specific message from an iMessage conversation (not seeing the Trash icon), you may want to double-check that you are following the steps outlined in the following article:
How do I delete a message?
To delete a message, tap and hold the message bubble, then tap More.
Tap Delete All to delete all the messages. Or tap to select the messages you want to delete, then tap .
After you delete a message, you can recover it only by restoring from a backup.

When I send a message using iMessage to a contact's email, the message (whether independent or to a group) is being delivered in their email inbox instead of their iMessage application.

Is there any resolution to this issue?

Yes, they are registered for iMessage and IOS 5.0.1 update. A few days ago (10-12 days) the group messaging was working fine, but now the messages are being delivered to the email inox instead of iMessage app.

Why every time i hit my new message or iMessage notification it goes and creates a new message to the person who sent the message

Hey Rkbethel
There are two ways to resolve this for you. For the first is go and do a Reset All Settings by going to Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings. It will not delete anything on your iPhone, but it will put all settings back to default. If it does not work, the next step would be to restore the iPhone back to factory settings.

If that's a 'soft' reset, then what's a 'hard' reset?

Upgraded to ios6 on ipad2 now I cant send messages from imessage.

Upgraded to ios6 on ipad2 now I cant send messages from imessage. Any fix? I've rebooted/powered down and on again and in Settings turned messages off and on again. Still won't work...

I did speak a bit too soon it seems - while I can now send messages again from my iPad 2, it still doesn't show me messages that were sent to me via my telephone number. Which is weird, because in the "You can be reached by iMessage at:" setting I do have my telephone number checked.
At this moment I have set my iPad 2 and iPhone 4's "Start new conversations from:" setting to my Apple ID e-mail address. This way at least I can send messages *and* receive messages if people don't use my telephone number to send me messages...
So yes, you should probably wait a while before restoring your iPad 2 - it doesn't fix things completely.

Hi! Is there any way I can save my messages in Imessage?

Hi! Is there any way I can save my messages in Imessage aside from taking screenshots of it?

Shaun,
Recently I got an iPhone 5 and when I activated it, I lost all of my voicemails from my previouse phone. With Verizon (I'm not sure about other carrier's), they were able to provide me with a phone number where I could access my old messages. I then used a website www.SaveMyVM.com to make permanemnt MP3 backups of them.
I believe the messages only remain on Verizon's system for a few days after activating a new phone, so time I would give them a call as soon as possible.
Hope this helps,
Jaimie

How can I stop getting unsolicited **** messages in iMessage

As the title states I need to stop getting **** messages in iMessage on my phone. I can tell because they start with a number like 906.xx, not a phone number.
This may not be possible to stop but catch before I open
Has anyone else run into this issue and if so what have you don't to attempt to stop it.

at the top page of Messages on my phone there is no color code, it's all just grey text, I do not click open the message, I swipe left and delete but this has happened several times this month.
I done not visit those types of sights on my phone or my MBP
It's been suggested that there is a robot dialing random numbers, but to get three in a month make me wonder.
Thanks for the tip,
I will look at it on my MBP next time to see if its there and if it has a color.
very good advise
thanks
