My iCloud account is set to American, my credit card and address is american, they have my American cell number on file, and my US cell number is associated with iMessage/iCloud.

    Audio message stopped working

    Hello, We recently upgraded to 13 Pro Max and after the latest update audio message no longer works. It’s greyed out - not a option. I see the option to record for others with iPhones but not for me or my husband’s phone. Also noticed our messages are SMS/MMS not iMessage. I called Apple but...

    Facetime an iMessage

    I can't seem to sign into Facetime or iMessage on a Macbook Pro (Early 2015) using Big Sur 11.2.3. Every time I try, I end up getting sent round in circles. Strangely, iCloud and Apple ID is quite okay, and signs in and out with no problem elsewhere. Lastly, I still have another MacBook Pro 2011...
