    Work Messaging on iMessage with two eSIMs cumbersome for anyone else?

    Is anyone else frustrated with the current mechanics of using two eSIMs when one of them is for work? Specifically, if I'm using my MacBook to respond to a work text then it automatically switches my line to my personal which defeats any privacy purpose I had to get a work phone number. My...

    iMessage Security

    I've always thought that giving out your actual phone number to be a security risk. Consider that your iMessage number may be your only number that financial institutions, utilities, etc use. Wondering how this stacks up in security from those security minded? Meanwhile, an obvious solution is...

    Message split conversation

    One of my friends recently switched to Android. He disabled his iMessages account and is telling me I'm the only one of his contacts complaining about the following. Basically, I'm now getting his messages as from his phone number AND his icloud account. So it will say message from 123-4567 and...

    How to check if a contact has iOS 18

    Here’s a method to make sure the person you’re messaging will see your new Text Effects or emoji reactions. It relies on RCS support, so it won’t work if they have iOS 18 but turned off RCS or their carrier doesn’t support it. 1. Start a new message in iMessage with an Android user. Make...

    Can not use Send Later with iMessages to myself

    I was reminded yesterday of the „send later“ feature. Now I wanted to send a message to myself in an existing conversation an hour to remind me of something, and funnily the option is missing. In messages to other people it is there. If I start a new conversation with my phone number as...

    Group Messaging Problems

    So, I’m not sure if this is iOS 18 related, but I’m having some weird issues with group messaging. I have a long-existing group message thread with the rest of my family. We’re all on iPhones and the whole thread was via iMessage (blue bubbles). Over the last couple of days, I’ve seen this...

    I have a contact with two phone numbers. How can I figure out which number is associated with a specific text?

    This problem happens to me on occasion. It's very frustrating. For example, today... My friend got a new phone number. I added it to her contact. We texted. (She has an android, so texts are green.) Later, I texted her and it went to her old number. They were pretty mean about it. At least...

    Carrier Dual Sim: Picking data line -- how does it work?

    I can't figure out how picking the data line for Dual Sim works. I have one line with unlimited calling, text, & data. I want to get a second business line I can call & send iMessages with, but want to avoid buying data if I can use the data from my FIRST line to send iMessages. Line A...

    Un-sync iMessages to device on same iCloud

    Hello, I have a few devices on the same iCloud account. I would like 3 of the 4 devices to share iMessages and SMS, continuity, etc, but I want one of them to NOT have any of those (because I let a family member use it). Is there a simple way to do that? TIA

    Cannot click blue send button in iMessage if I added any type of attachment

    Anyone else started having issues lately with not being able to click the send arrow in iMessage if you added a link, picture, contact card, etc? Seems like this started maybe within last month or so. Otherwise if only sending text it works fine. Any known fixes?

    iMessages intermittently delivered

    Messages storage ballooning out of control for no apparent reason.

    Hello, So I’ve upgraded to a 128GB iPhone from a 256GB iPhone as I decided I don’t really need that much physical storage space due to having 2TB of iCloud and everything being synced/stored in the cloud. I reduced the space being taken on my old phone, then restored the new phone from backup...
