TS2755 4s messages

I have an iphone 4s and want it to save text messages on my phone. How do I do this? I don't want to back up by moving them to a computer.

Hey Lchagan,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues sending iMessages. The following article may help to resolve your issue:
iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2755
You may also want to reset your network settings:
Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Note: this will delete any network related settings (saved Wi-Fi passwords, etc), it will not erase any content from your device.
Thanks,
Matt M.

TS2755 SMS messages are being received as emails

Hello. I have an iPhone 5, and as of a couple of days ago, when I send an SMS text message to another iPhone user, the recipient receives those messages as emails. Also, if other iPhone owners send me text messages, I don't receive them.
If I send an SMS text message to someone else (someone with an Android phone, for example), they are able to receive the messages normally, and their messages come to me.
I tried having a person with an iPhone 4S send me a text message. Rather than coming through as an iMessage, the message showed up on that person's phone as a normal SMS text message.
Has anyone seen this issue, and/or had any success in resolving it?
I'm running IOS 6.1.3, and I purchased the phone about three months ago.

Messaging between Apple devices is called imessage. To correct your problem go to settings - message - send&receive - make sure your cell is the defaut. You may need to uncheck or remove the apple id.

TS2755 i message failures

For the past few days I have had most imessages fail to go through. The message loads most of the way, then sits waiting for a long time before finally giving me the red exclamation point! Any advice?

sign out of your apple id by going to settings, itunes and app store, click on your applke id click sign out then go to settings, general, reset, then reset all settings when the device comes back on attempt to sign in again if that does not go through. call 1-800-my-apple and tell them what your issue is

TS2755 i message and cell number?

Can I disactivate my phone number in I message and just use i message with email?
I'm worried for security reasons that perhaps too many people will be able to see my phone number in some directory I am not aware of.

Hey bill.rizzo2,
Thanks for the question. I understand your phone number is missing on your iPad as an option for iMessage. The following article provides steps to resolve this issue:
iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5538
Phone number missing on iPad or iPod touch
If your phone number isn't listed on an iPod touch or iPad, follow these steps:
1. Update to the latest version of iOS.
2. Verify that you're using the same Apple ID that you're using on your iPhone.
3. On your iPad or iPod touch, sign out of your Apple ID in the following locations:
    - Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    - Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
4. Sign in to your Apple ID with FaceTime and iMessage.
If your phone number still isn't listed, follow these steps:
1. Sign out of your Apple ID on all iOS devices, including your iPhone, in the following locations:
    - Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    - Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
2. Sign in to your Apple ID on your iPhone.
3. When activation is complete, your Apple ID and all verified email addresses should be visible in Settings > Messages > Receive At and Settings > FaceTime.
4. Sign in to your Apple ID on your other iOS devices.
Thanks,
Matt M.

TS2755 Receiving "Message Send Failure" notification, but messages are going through?

For the past few days, I have been receiving a "Message Send Failure" after every iMessage that I send. The messages are going through, but I still receive the notification every time. I have restarted my phone, signed out of and back into iMessage, and reset my network settings. Nothing seems to be working. Anyone have a solution? I'm having the same problem on my iPad, which leads me to believe it's a problem with iMessage at large as opposed to a device problem. Thanks!

If you have others that are receiving your imessaging but not the group you are attempting to send to then do this:
Click on your text messaging area using imessaging enabled and then type a message to yourself. Do this test to verify that your imessaging apple server is working properly. IF you get the messsage back to you in BLUE this indicates to you that both the outgoing and incoming text messaging is working as imessaging. With this piece of information verified that will indicate there are connectivity issues with individuals or all that are a part of the group you are attempting to contact. Please do not conclude that at a point in time this communication worked via imessaging that there may be some in the group that are now having conectiviity issues of their own.
Good luck, Friend.

TS2755 Text Messages changing from what's originally sent

Has anyone else experienced their phone sending the correct message to the correct recipient but then changing how that message is displayed on your phone to something different from what was sent? For example, if the message you sent originally said "How is your day going though?", the phone might correct it later to read "Are you doing alright?" The autocorrect function on my phone has been turned off since I first got it back in January, and my phone hasn't tried to correct my texts before so I'm curious as to why this might be happening. If anyone else has experienced this happening to him/her, please let me know how you resolved it! THANK YOU!!

This is due to sharing Apple IDs.
Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and make sure only the phone number is checked.

TS2755 I Message functionality, cannot edit, delete or forward messages

Has anyone else found the loss of editing functions on your phone since the latest update?
You used to be able to clear a conversation, forward and edit a text message.
This function has either been removed or there is a setting hiding somewhere!!!!!
I find this messaging system very clumsy as the only way to delete is to delete the complete message and person as well.
This is inefficient especially when you are recieving numerous messages from the same people..

Thanks for this information randers4, but I really wish Apple would stop doing things like this. It maybe seems trivial to complain about such a thing, but when you don't use the forwarding command very often, by the time you need to use it they've changed the flaming thing and the message you need to forward is urgent. It has been three months since you posted this message, but I only required to do the forward this week and I was SO frustrated because I was unable to send the message. So thanks again, so glad there are people like you on here.

TS2755 Group message issue

Iam trying to send a group message and cannot seem to get it right. It worked once when I was texting to 2 other iphone users...but it will not allow me to group text others. Not only that but I have no 'Group texting option in my settings'. HEL

have you done a reset, hold down the home/power buton together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.

TS2755 My message icon has false notification

MY iPhone 6 says I have a message but all the texts are read. I tried restarting my iPhone and even tried the read all messages button but neither worked. Help?

Hello SonofElyon,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
I see where your Messages keeps telling you have an unread message, even though all have been read. There are a couple of things I can suggest for this. First, try forcing Messages to quit, see this article:
Force an app to close in iOS - Apple Support
If that doesn't take care of it, then try resetting your iPhone (you have already tried restarting):
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

TS2755 Picture Message Issues

When I recieve a picture text, and click on it to view it full screen, it just constantly says "loading" and never loads the picture. Is anyone else having this issue? I just updated my phone to the 6.1 last night and that's when this started.

Close out of the message app, then double tap the home button and completely close out of the message app.
Then do a reset, hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back p.
NO, the problem isn't because of IOS 6.1.

TS2755 Picture messaging problems

I have an iPod touch. It's updated and everything but i still have problems with my iMessage. I can send regular messages but when I try to send a picture it goes half way through the sending bar and then says sending failed or something. Why is this? How can I fix it?

Have you looked at the previous discussions listed on the right side of this page under the heading "More Like This"? Ones with a green checkmark are solved.
