Latest iOS turning off iMessage

I have just updated to the latest iOS 8.2 on 2 iPhone 6's, and have noticed that the update has turned off iMessage on both phones (this is not a question just a warning to all iPhone 6 users to check after updating). I have updated 2 iPads as well and they were not effected.

I would suggest that rather then that being a problem with iOS it is more likely a problem with your iPhone.
Neither I nor the people I help to support have seen anything like that.
You might want to try restoring your iPhone to see it that helps.

  • Cannot turn off iMessage in IOS 5.1 with Iphone Configuration Utility 3.5

    Summary:
    When phones are upgraded to the new iOS 5.1 and if they either have a iPhone Configuration Utility (IPCU) template already in stalled or if you install a new one there is no way to successfully turn off iMessage.  Used to work with iOS 5.0 by using IPCU and turning off 'Allow Facetime' and the end-user would no longer have facetime OR iMessage.  Do the same in the IPCU and apply it to a iOS 5.1 device and the iMessage will still work and FaceTime.  Take a 5.0 phone with the template already in stalled where iMessge and FaceTime do not work...then upgrade phone to iOS 5.1 and the iMessage comes back!
    Steps to Reproduce:
    Create a template in (unsigned) in IPCU and turn off 'Allow FaceTime'.  Apply this template through the use of the IPCU to an iPhone with iOS 5.1.  iMessage will NOT be disabled.
    OR
    Create a template in (unsigned) in IPCU and turn off 'Allow FaceTime'.  Apply this template through the use of the IPCU to an iPhone with iOS 5.0.  Then confirm iMessage is gone (not working or available) then upgrade teh iPhone to iOS 5.1 and you will see iMessage will NOT be disabled and is in proper working condition.
    Expected Results:
    By turning off the 'Allow FaceTime' in the IPCU this will and has in the past disabled and removed the FaceTime and iMessage Apps.
    Actual Results:
    By turning off the 'Allow FaceTime' feature in IPCU and loading it onto an iOS 5.1 iPhone the iMessge and FaceTime Apps still are there and work.
    Regression:
    We have been able to test and get the same results on the iPhone 4 and 4S for iOS 5.0 (works as promised) and then once upgraded to iOS 5.1 (doesn't work as promised)
    We have tried using IPCU 3.4 and 3.5 FYI.
    Anyone else see this issue?

    This seems to be working for me now but will keep monitoring it the next couple of times I use it to make sure its not a one time thing

  • If I turned off iMessage on my iPhone would I still receive iMessages to my phone number on my iPad?

    I turned off iMessage on my iPhone - my iPad is currently off.  If someone texted me to my number where iMessages were appearing on both my iPhone and iPad will they still appear on my iPad when I turn it on?

    You should, but only from other iOS device users. The iPad doesn't do SMS .

  • Is it possible to turn off iMessage off for one individual during group text?

    Can I turn off iMessage for individuals who use the iPhone and IOS 5 but do not have their iMessage setting on?  I want to group text with two other people.  They both have IOS 5, but one does not use iMessage.  She can't recieve the group text unless I turn my iMessage off for everyone.  Is it possible to turn off iMessage for one individual for a group text?

    Have you set font smoothing in Appearances (System preferences) to match your monitor?

  • Having to turn off imessage to text other iphone users?

    My friend who recently upgraded to ios7 has had to turn off iMessage in order to receive messages (texts) on her iphone; she could send messages, but she couldn't receive any from other iphone users. Her son, who has an Android phone could reach her before before she diabled iMessage, but anyone with an iphone she could not receive messages from. Has anyone else had this issue? If so, did you resolve it? How?
    Apple really released this ios before thoroughly checking it out. In the long run it will hurt them in the wallet.

    If you are talking about iMessage add an email address to Settings>Messages>Receive At that no one has in their contact for you, then change Settings>Messages>Receive At>Caller ID to that email.  Your iMessage will appear to them as this email address.

    No, you will need to contact Apple Support and have them remve it from the database

    TechCrunch posted a solution today that applies to this problem, I think.
    Go to: https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do
    Click your old iPhone and "unregister" it.

  • If I turn off iMessages on my iphone 5 and only use SMS, I am hoping this will this stop ALL my messages going to partners ipad? I only want 2 use SMS and not have any of my messages go to partners ipad so dont want to alter ipad settings.

    My situtation is this, my soon to be ex previously set up an ipad with both our numbers and we share a linked itunes/icloud account so if my phone is off he gets all my messages via his ipad that I DO NOT have access to his ipad at ALL. I can't set up my own itunes account (not yet until I leave him) otherwise he will know I am leaving him and it will cause major problems. So I was hoping that if I turn off iMessages on my iphone 5 and just talk to my family via SMS and NOT touch his precious ipad mini, that he wont be able to get my messages anymore and if I turn off iCloud storage and back up as well on my iphone only. Is this correct? Its just a temporary solution I am hoping. I have searched for days and hours and I just cant find this answer anywhere....
    Do I HAVE to turn off my phone number off or delete it on his ipad? I am really hoping I can just do this at my own end and not touch his ipad in anyway or have to change my itunes id YET. Once I leave him shortly, I will create a whole new ID etc.  I just wanna know if I can do this myself on my iphone only. Please any experienced help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so very much.

    SMS messages will not go to the iPad Mini. It's not capable of receving them. If you have access and can do it without it causing a problem, remove your iPhone from the Apple ID Support profile:
    Go to: https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do

    If anyone in your family uses iMessage, they will go to both you and your boyfriend unless you do that.
    To be completely safe, you may want to simply use an alternate message app such as Skype, Viber, Whatsapp (assuming everyone has a smartphone) until the issue is resolved. Google Voice will also allow you to send and receive texts to another number on your phone.
    Best of luck.

  • Can I Turn off iMessage in a group text with multiple people with different devices? There's 1 person in the group text that doesn't use iPhone anymore and they can't see any messages that are sent unless we send as regular text individually.

    Is there a way to turn off iMessage for a group text that includes multiple people with different non-apple devices? When a message is sent, only the iPhone users can see the iMessage. Those without them cannot see the texts unless we send individual Text Messages or turn off iMessage completely.

    now I have this and it still doesn't work.

  • How can I turn off imessage for just one of my contacts? Me and my husband just upgraded (both had iphone 4), I got the iphone 5s and he got he note 3. All my text to him automatically send as a imessage. Ive tried to delete his contact and then went back

    How can I turn off imessage for just one of my contacts? Me and my husband just upgraded (both had iphone 4), I got the iphone 5s and he got he note 3. All my text to him automatically send as a imessage. Ive tried to delete his contact and then went back in and reentered it but that doesnt work.

    Have your husband text the word "stop" to 48369. This should take his number out of the iMessage system.
    Go into your settings under messaging and make sure the box to send as an SMS if iMessage is unavailable is checked.
    Hopefully this will get your messages sending/receiving to each other.

  • Turn off iMessage for just one person

    I have one friend that I text a lot who has an iPhone and I want to be able to text her using text message instead of iMessage. Another one of my friends only has an iPod though, so I don't want to turn off iMessage. Is there a way I could turn off iMessage for just my one friend?

    No.
    They can turn off iMessage and they won't send/receive them
