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

    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.

  • Can I turn off iMessage for one contact?

    My wife recently switched from the iPhone 4 to a Galaxy S3, and in order to be able to send her a text message, I have to turn off iMessage. Is there any way to turn it off for an individual contact instead of turning it off completely? Or can I tell my phone she no longer uses her Apple ID for imessage?

    She should switch iMessage OFF on her iPhone, change her Apple ID password, delete her profile registeration.

  • Imessaging not working for just one person.

    I have an Iphone 4S and my friend jst got an Iphone 5. She still has her iphone 4s and Imessaging works just fine with that.  But once she got her Iphone 5 we haven't been able to send Imessaging back and forth.  But it still works on the 4S.  Anyone know how to fix that?  I reset the settings on my phone, but that just made it so i couldn't imessage her at all, just sends as a regular text.

    She should log out of iMessage, then log in again.  That usually fixes these types of problems.

  • Need to turn off iMessage for an iPhone that no longer works

    My daughter broke her iPhone and the motherboard is fried. We got her an Android as a temporary phone until she is due for an upgrade in a few months. The problem is that when we try to text her on the new Andriod, on our iPhones (and any other iPhone that tries to text her) it still sends as an iMessage. Therefore she cannot receive any texts from us unless we turn off our iMessage (which causes us not to be able to receive other iMessages of course!). We went to the Sprint store, and they told us that we would need to turn off the iCloud for her phone, since Apple is recognizing it as still on and associated with her number. I cannot figure out how to do that since we can't access the phone settings. She is traveling this week alone with other family and I really need to be able to text her! She is 12. I appreciate any help.
    This is an iPhone 4, with Sprint. We have 3 other iPhones, an iPod 4 and an iPad 2 on the same Apple ID account. We don't use the Cloud storage but I think the iCloud on the phone was turned on for a few things like Calendar.
    Thank you in advance.

    She would have had to register the phone using her Apple ID/password.
    Changing her Apple ID password is the only other way to fix this if you don't have access to the phone.
    You can also "try" calling AppleCare.

  • HT3529 How do i turn off iMessage for my phone number completely?

    I got rid of my iPhone. I now have a Samsung Galaxy s4. All of my friends and family that had texted me using iMessgae before are now unable to text me because every time they try, it sends an iMessage. I am unable to recieve these messages from my phoe and it is really annoying. I tried turning off my phone number as a send & recieve option on all of my devices. I tried changing my password as suggested by Apple. IT STILL DOES NOT WORK. Does anybody out there have any idea on how to fix this?

    It looks like if you don't have access to re phone you'll need to contact apple support. The link is in the article.

  • I want to turn off iMessage for certain contacts

    Is this possible?  Sometimes, I love never missing a text from certain people.  But for the majority, I don't need their texts going to my iPad, iPhone, Laptop, AND MacPro all at once.  It's annoying having to delete them on each device.

    Hi TimWB0216,
    You can use the steps in this article to block certain people from sending you messages -
    Messages (Mavericks): Block or allow messages
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH15035
    At this time the people who are blocked are not synced across devices, so you would have to do this on each device. Your idea about doing so sounds interesting, however. You may want to submit it as feedback to Apple. Use this website -

  • 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?

  • 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.

    You need to delete here conversation and start another one using her phone number and not her Apple ID. You cannot delete iMessage, you can disable it. If the Apple server still sees her iPod with iMessage on and using her Apple ID, then it will continue to appear to your phone that she has iMessage. She needs to take a look at this support document about permanently disabling iMessage for her account. Can’t receive text messages on a non-Apple phone
