This is a technical issue, not an issue of comprehension. Additionally even if the person sending the message deletes the old conversation and with it all links to the previous iMessage, it still defaults to iMessage when they try to txt you again. It does maybe about 50% of the time… the other 50% of the time when iMessage is turned off on the old the device and someone tries to send you a txt, it still defaults to iMessage. In the IT shop I run we have some 15K iPhones that we manage and I can tell you from repeated and I mean REPEATED experience that simply turning off iMessage on the old device DOES NOT fix this problem. Give it a shot and see – After that, I started receiving messages much more consistently, and the other person did not have to hold down ‘send’ to force it to send as a text message instead of iMessage. This forces what I would assume to be a reauthorization for a token, which won’t happen if you don’t turn it on on any other device.
However, if any of you here actually ARE having the issue (I was for a few weeks lately after moving to my M8), if you can, change your Apple ID password. If Apple’s only fix is to turn off iMessage before the fact, then it should prompt you to do so before you “Erase All Content and Settings” on a device. This does need a fix, because people could be missing very important information. This has existed for years, and when I worked at the Genius Bar, they finally had a “deactivate number’ solution in their BOH support website for iCloud, however current employees tell me this doesn’t exist anymore. They are most likely trying to light a fire under Apple to come up with a solution for this problem.
The suit is based on contractual interference and unfair competition laws. The text-messaging lawsuit, which seeks class-action status and undetermined damages, claims Apple failed to disclose that switching to a device other than one running on Apple’s iOS operating system would result in the interference.

In the lawsuit filed against Apple, the consumer claimed she stopped receiving messages from iPhone users after switching to an Android device: Some AppleCare employees are suggesting users not receiving messages ask contacts to delete and re-add them as a contact.Īpple does have a support page detailing the common solutions for deactivating iMessage when switching devices, but some users are reportedly still unable to fix the problem. This leaves users on either end unaware that messages aren’t getting through, and there doesn’t seem to be an easy solution to get the messaging app to stop defaulting to iMessage. Apple automatically defaults to the less expensive iMessage to save users from paying for text messages, but if a contact happens to switch to another platform even temporarily- Android for example- the app sometimes does not automatically recognize and switch back to text messages. The problem exists with how Apple’s messaging app handles the switch from its iPhone to iPhone iMessaging platform to traditional SMS text messages when contacts switch to new devices. Following a report earlier this month that Apple started acknowledging a long-standing complaint over a common iMessage bug, Bloomberg ( via BI) reports that a customer has filed a lawsuit against Apple and is seeking class action status with a San Jose court.
