This morning, the minority reported that Apple has officially launched a tool to unbundle the iMessage service. If you switch from iPhone to another phone and find that you can't receive text messages from others, it may be that your mobile number is still bound to Apple's iMessage service. If this is the case, you can now use Apple's official online tool to unblock the mobile phone number bound to iMessage so that your phone can send and receive messages normally.
On this page of Apple, you can see that there are two unbinding methods. The first is when you still have an iPhone on hand, and the second is when you no longer have access to the iPhone, so you can solve it online.
1. Unbind the iPhone's iMessage service by turning off
Step 1: Turn off the iPhone you have, use the card removal pin to take out the card slot, and install the mobile phone card you need to unbind the iMessage service.
Step 2: Boot .
Step 3: Go to the "Settings" - "Message" - "Send and Receive" section, first remove (log out) the email account bound to iMessage.
Step 4: Click the "i" button to the right of the mailbox name, go to the mailbox page and select the "Remove this email" option.
Step 5: Next, go to the "Settings" - "Message" section again, and turn off the iMessage service switch.
2. Unbind
through the unbinding page. If you don’t have an iPhone at hand ( and your friends won’t lend it to you, ), you can do it online directly!
Step one: Open the browser and go to Apple’s official online unbundling page.
Step 2: Scroll down to the section marked "No longer have your iPhone?"
Step 3: Click to select the country/region, enter the mobile phone number you need to unbind, and then click the "Send" button to send the verification code.
Step 4: Check the text messages received by the current mobile phone, and then enter the verification code you get.
Step 5: Click the "Submit" button to confirm unbinding the iMessage service.
Just wait for the page confirmation. At this point, your mobile phone number will no longer be bound to the iMessage service.
How to reactivate iMessage service
What if you regret and want to use your iPhone again? Then just go to the "Settings" - "Message" section, and turns on the iMessage service switch.
