iMessage, Apple frees users – Computer Point

Rome – Apple promised to do something, and now has lived in this regard: the tool launched quietly in recent hours allows you to save the limbo of iMessage short messages sent by friends and acquaintances to a number no longer paired with an iPhone . One thing discussed extensively in recent months, but the origin of which the experts see it as an original sin indoor service, which in Cupertino were declassified in simple problem of the server, but which has now been dealt with more effectively.

What is often the case in migrations from iOS to Android, which is when a user decides to abandon his iPhone in favor of one of the many other smartphones on the market, is that the phone number remains paired with the iTunes account for Apple iMessage service combined with: In other words, all the friends, relatives, colleagues or acquaintances who have in turn an iPhone (or iPad, or Mac) continue to display “blue” the conversations with messages that number . The sign that you can pass through the Apple messaging replacing SMS, but this is not always the reality, as iMessagge only works on iOS or OS X, and if the destination number is added to an Android or Windows Phone communications will end up in a buffer that will not be read by anyone.

The issue in time, given the growth of Android in the market, has assumed grotesque dimensions to result in a class-action lawsuit in California to ‘Vintage Apple merely throw water on the fire clear that in any case, the system will purge the numbers no longer paired with an iPhone within a set time , and that an error in the code of the service had complicated the issue but there was now remedied. A time limit (hours? Days? Weeks?), However, is not enough to get to the bottom of the matter: there are circumstances in which, for example when on business or for other reasons frequently moves a SIM card from a terminal to an iOS and Android vice versa, this type of behavior can cause many headaches to the holder of the phone number in question.

So Apple has now made available an easy way to solve this kind of problem also If you are not available iPhone to disable iMessage before the change . It fits the phone number ended up in limbo, expects the 6-digit verification code via SMS which will come and confirm their intention to leave the private club of Cupertino. This is good news for end users, so that they can choose quickly and without too much trouble for the smartphone that is closest to their liking at any time, without having to worry about messages disappeared and misunderstandings related to communications ghost.
