Imessage & ios7

Hi Folks,
Anybody know when this imessage/ios7 bug will be fixed?
Its stopping messages being received by every memember of my household - we all have iphones and have had to switch immessage off.
Often the messages are not received until hours later - eg on return to our homes wifi.
The imessage system used to send the message by sms if either sender or receiver were not in a 3g/wifi area but seemingly it no longer does this since we upgraded to ios 7.
There does not seem to be any fix forthcoming.
Anybody got any tips .
Is it carrier related.
We ahve already done fresh phone resets - complete erases and start again as new phones and the problem still persists.
regards
Sean

Yep,
Apple seems to be working on that and to release in the coming days a fix for it:

  • Cropped Images in iMessage ios7

    Are others seeing the new text bubbles in ios7 copping images?  If so, anything that can be done (besides wait for ios7.1?)

    Thanks.  First I've seen of it.  When I look at the text in iMessage on my Macbook, the image is fine.  In this specific case, I was texting a snippet from a webpage (Command-Shift-4).  It is readable if it is clicked on but, since it was only a few words long, it would be nice if it were fully legible in the main body.

  • IMessage is not working on my iPad since updating to ios7.0.6

    iMessage is not working on my iPad since updating to ios7.0.6
    It worked well before doing the latest update.
    iMessage on My iPhone 4 works fine after doing the same update.
    Have done all the usual things plugging into computer, complete shut down and reboot, nothing has worked.
    It keeps asking for password for Apple ID, I know I am entering the correct ID,  check network is also being displayed.
    Nothing wrong with my network either, other iPads and iPhones are working fine on the same network.
    Would like this fixed ASAP.
    Thanks

  • HT204053 Hi, my husband has downloaded ios7 and now he is receiving my iMessages/facetime calls.  Obviously we both use the same apple Id.  How do i keep using the same apple id on both devices, but disable my iMessages etc from his phone??

    My husband has upgraded ios7.  His iphone and mine have the same apple id.  he has activated "icloud" which i have never activated before.  He is receiving my imessages and facetime calls. How do i disable this yet still continue using our shared apple id on both devices????
    thanks

    Short term solution, do this on both devices
    Settings > iCloud > Shut off anything you don't want shared
    Long term solution (actual solution)
    You need seperate Apple IDs for iCloud. iTunes and iCloud are not the same.
    Create a new Apple ID > https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
    On one of the devices go Settings > iCloud > Delete Account > Sign in with the new Apple ID
    This will seperate your Contacts, Calendars, Messages etc.
    You both can continue to use the same Apple ID for iTunes and share apps and music

  • I have an iPhone 5 and updated it to iOS7 but now I can't use iMessage or FaceTime as it says "waiting for activation" and won't let me use my phone number to do iMessage or FaceTime either

    I have an iPhone 5 and updated it to iOS7 last night but now I can't use iMessage or FaceTime as it says "waiting for activation" As well as that, it won't let me use my phone number to do iMessage or FaceTime it will only let me use my apple ID which I don't want to do.

    Thank you for replying.    Yes I deleted the old email address..   

  • Can there be two iMessage addresses associated with one Apple ID in iOS7?

    My wife and I use the same Apple ID for our iPhones. Now that we have both updated to iOS7 our individual messages are intertwined. I went to AT&T yesterday to find out what's up. The guy told me each of us has to have our own ID. Is that so? If I get her an individual ID, what will that do to all the apps on her phone that were downloaded using my original ID?
    Thanks for your consideration

    You can share apple id for apps and music.  However you would need separate id's for imessage  - facetime and icloud.
    since your sharing apple id that is the reason you see each other's imessage:
    quick fix on both devices go to settings - message - send&receive - remove or uncheck the apple id.

  • I can no longer receive short videos in iMessage after downloading iOs7 on my iPhone 4 it says "Downloading", only 4.3MB in size

    I had the same problem today and was able to resolve it without having to do a restore or reset. The problem had something to do with my mail accounts. The upgrade reset my mail settings, switching both my gmail and my .mac mail to "archive all mail". I went into the General Settings, disabled that setting, and resynced the phone. The "other" storage allottment dropped back down to less than a gig.
    Before you restore or reset, I would try that first.

  • After upgrading to iOS7, I can no longer send or receive texts that aren't iMessages.

    As the title indicates: After upgrading to iOS7, I can no longer send or receive texts that aren't iMessages.
    The text conversations are still there; you can see that I used to be able to text anyone. But now I cannot.
    I have followed several different fixes suggested in these forums, I have Restored my phone, I have Reset Network Settings, I have Reset All Settings, I have checked settings on several friend's phones. But I still cannot send or receive texts that are not iMessage texts.
    This seems like a pretty big deal. People text more than they call. And I now have a phone that cannot text very many people.
    It is so frustrating. I have spent so much time trying to get it to work.

    Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions ...
    I don't know if this is a corrupted preference file or not, but it sure can't hurt to try this.
    If Mail is open, Quit Mail.
    /Users/YourName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
    Drag that .plist file to the Desktop. Launch Mail and see if you can send or receive e-mail. If you can, that .plist file is corrupted. Drag it to the trash, empty the trash and reboot. Your Mac will create a new preference file for you the next time you launch Mail.
    Also... run Disk Utility and Repair Disk Permissions. Disk Utility is in your Applications/Utilities folder. Launch DU, select MacintoshHD 10.x.x in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab, click Repair Disk Permissions. Quit DU when it's finished and reboot.

  • After updating my iPhone to iOS7 I no longer receive my imessages to my MacBook Air. Now my Imessage says it's my Apple email name and not my phone number. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    If someone could help me out with this that would be great. I updated my iPhone to iOS7 on Wednesday September 18th, 2013. My messages always got sent to my iMessage on the MacBook before without any problems. But, eversince the update I don't get my texts sent to my computer anymore. I actually use the IMessage on my laptop to text sometimes and find it very useful. Anyway, my contact shows up on IMessage now as my email that I use for iCloud as well as my Apple Account. I just find it aggravating when I send a text from iMessage and it comes up as my email account. Is there any way to fix it so that my messages will get sent to my iMessage on my phone as well as the iMessage here on my macbook as well? Please help me. Thank you!

    Do you mean when you say its locked to another carrier other then the one im using, that maybe my insurance sent me an iphone thats for a different network for example orange and not mine which is o2?

  • After downloading iOS7 on my work phone, all of my personal iMessages come in on both my personal phone and work phone.  How do I turn this off?

    I recently updated my work iPhone to iOS7 and now all of my iMessages from my personal phone are also coming in to my work phone.  How do I turn this off?  I only want my iMessages to come in to my personal phone.

    You can either turn off iMessage on your work phone, use a different Apple ID for iMessage on it (by going to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID), or go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive on your work phone and uncheck your personal phone number under "You can be Reached by iMessage at".

  • Texts send as iMessage to iPad instead of SMS to iPhone iOS7

    My BF has iMessage OFF on his iPhone 4 (running iOS6) but ON on his iPad Air (iOS7). I want to leave iMessage ON on my iPhone 4 (running iOS7) because other people who text me need to use it. But when I send my BF a text now my messages default to him via iMessage and goes to his iPad Air and not his iPhone 4! I used to be able to just click and hold on the message after it was sent to manually send it as SMS but that is no longer an option since the iOS7 update! Pressing and holding on the message while it is sending brings up the option to "send as text" but it sends too quick as an iMessage for me to select it and then once it is sent, selecting and holding on it just brings up the option to either "copy" or forward the message after selecting "more." My BF does not like iMessage ON on his phone so are there any suggestions to get it to where I can send him an SMS to his phone but still leave iMessage turned ON on my phone?

    Hey guys, I figured out a solution so I'm posting it in case someone else has the same situation. I had to uncheck my BF's phone number under Settings>Messages>Receive At>...on his iPad. I left his e-mail checked and now he can send iMessages still from his iPad, it just shows his e-mail address if I get a message from him that way. And, when I send him a message to his phone number it sends it as an SMS since iMessaging is OFF on his iPhone and I get to keep iMessage ON on my iPhone! Thanks everyone for your previous help.
