HT201287 iMessage and SMS in the same conversation?
My iMessage and SMS conversations are not linked in the same conversation. How can that be? I have linked my Apple ID and my phone number already, so I can't find the problem... Anyone out there who might be able to help?
You may have had your email checked for the iMessage conversations
At any rate - the conversations cannot be merged on your phone
If you leave only your phone number checked - the SMS and iMessage conversations merge into one

How can I have IMessage and SMS in the same thread
My boyfriend has an iPad mini and a non Apple phone that sends SMS. I know have two separate threads in messages, one for iMessage and one for SMS. Even though I have added his email that is used to send iMessages to his contact on my phone, it is still showing as two different conversations on my phone. Is there a way that I can see both types of message as one conversation? I hope this makes sense.

Going from iMessages to text in the same conversation
Not sure to write clearly the question. ,I already posted but no definite answer. Grey cloudy dots turn into a normal incoming iMessage to which I iMessage back (blue). Suddenly, a long wait of cloudy grey dots don't end up in a message. When I question, no answer or answer much later the screen was not turned off and letters would be typed unintentionally. Anyone experienced this? Second question is could this also be a cause for my iMessages (blue) turn to be text (green) and sent as SMS.. when conversation is resumed?
If it is blue, that means that you are texting through iMessage. If they are green, that means those are just normal texts. It may sometimes turn blue to green and the cause of it may be losing of 3G by you or the person you are texting. You can use iMessage while you are in 3G or WiFi area.

Receive iMessage and SMS text in one window
I was wondering if anyone knows of a setting or whether its even possible to receive an iMessage from an iPad and a SMS text from a non Apple phone within one chat window when they both are coming from the same person. Someone text's me throughout the day from her non iPhone. When she gets home and hops on her iPad, she sends me messages from iMessage. This opens two different chat windows. Any way to fix this?
I'm sorry, Apple will not read this. They do not participate in the forum. If you would like to provide them with feedback about this, you can do that HERE. Then click on the appropriate link. While switching between iMessage and SMS in a single conversation is possible, remember as I said, you are conducting two separate conversations, because they are coming from two separate devices, that are actually crossing platforms.

my ipad imessages are coming up on my husband's iphone. Is that because we share an apple id account. How can we have separate apple id's and still share the same music library.
The biggest problem I have is with cross texting. My friends send my a imessage on ipad to ipad and it comes up as message on my husband's phone as well as my ipad?
My friends definitely do not want my husband seeing their texts. (and I dont really need him to see my responses either)
Also, apple id is based on my email account, how do I create a new apple id without setting up a new email account? -

I understand the difference between imessage and SMS but when I text a friend who used to receive imessages (blue), my phone shows I'm sending her SMS (green) messages. No longer are they blue. She has an iphone and this happens when we are both connected to wifi. We have both recently updated to ios7. Thanks!

Verizon iPhone 5, 64GB black - is anyone having issues with a very choppy conversation while talking on the phone? Both my wife and I have the same phones and are both having the same issue. We can only hear every other word of the person we are talking to. This happens at home, on the road and in the downtown area while calling both cellphones and landlines. It is intermittent, so we don't know exactly when it will reoccur. Absolutely no problem with data. The data speed is great.

Since iOS6, whenever I send an iMessage to my wife, it sends the message to me too. How do I stop this? My wife and I share the same email address.
On at least one of the phones, go to Settings/ Messages/ Send & Receive and then tap the e-mail address to turn that option off. That should force the iMessage to be sent to the unique phone numbers of the phones, not the e-mail address that is common between the phones.
Or alternatively, create a new e-mail address for one of you and select that as the e-mail option to receive at on one of the phones instead of the shared e-mail. -

Why am I getting two different conversations when the same person txts me and sends me an I message? I thought they should be in the same conversation?
I'm experiencing something similar. My conversations are kept together but if the screen is opened to a conversation and I receive a text from that person it doesn't show up on the screen. The message alert in the upper corner indicates a new text but I have to back out of the screen and go back in to read it.

i am not getting notification on most of my apps, e.g twitter and facebook...except i go to the app and refreshed manually. its an iphone 4 and running on ios5...i have gone through everything and its still the same..help please........
I seem to be having the same problem on my brand new iPhone 4S. Everything was working fine on the phone until I updated to iOS 5.1.1, but now I no longer receive push notifications for the native Mail app, Instagram, or the Facebook app. I still seem to be receiving SMS texts and iMessages via push, but the aforementioned apps need to be opened before I can receive missed notifications (having them open in the background seems to make no difference).
Thanks for any help that you may provide!did you try notifications under settings? You can customize it as per your requirement, for each application.

How do i copy imessages and sms onto icloud?
how do i copy imessages and sms on to icloud?
You can't copy messages to iCloud. Your iMessages are completely separate from iCloud and you don't need an iCloud account to use iMessage. Your sms messages are sent from your cellular provider and also have no connection to iCloud.
If you are trying to receive your iMessages on your other devices, just sign into iMessage with the same Apple ID (in Settings>Messages>Send & Receive). -
is there a good texting app for a Macbook air that will sync with my iPhone and iPad iMessage and SMS?
Hey bishopcheen,
Great question! Apple has announced that these features are coming in iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite. For more information, check out the “Messages” section of this page:
Apple - OS X Yosemite - Apps
http://www.apple.com/osx/preview/apps/
Messages gives you so many ways to start a conversation. When your iPhone is nearby, you can send a text message from your Mac to groups of friends, even if they use SMS. Or send a photo of your epic karaoke birthday party, then follow it up with a Soundbite audio clip of your encore performance. With Messages, it’s not just what you say, it’s however you want to say it.
Now every message on your iPhone appears on your Mac.
Messages on your Mac has always been a great way to stay in touch. But friends without iMessage couldn’t be part of the conversation. Well, now they can be. All the SMS and MMS messages you receive on your iPhone now appear on your Mac. So you can text any friend without picking up your iPhone. And the conversation stays up to date across all your devices.
iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite are coming this fall. I hope you are as excited as I am!
Thanks,
Matt M.
