Apple user can send each other endless free text messages, pictures, and videos from their iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac. On that way, Apple user can save a lot of money. Actually, iMessage is a great thing. But if you switch to an Android or Windows Phone device, this can also cause problems. To solve them, you have to disable iMessage.<\/p>\n<p>If the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/making-your-iphone-battery-last-longer\/\" target=\"_blank\">iPhone <\/a>recognizes that the recipient uses also an Apple device, a SMS turns automatically to an iMessage. iOS signals this by switching from green to blue text bubbles. If you start to use a smartphone with another operating system and you just turned off your iPhone, your messages will still be sent as iMessages. The result: non-delivered messages on the new smartphone. That&#8217;S why you should turn off\u00a0your iMessage service.<\/p><div style=\"float: none; display: block; margin: 0 -10px; text-align: center;\"><!-- ph_pricepony_article_incontent_1 -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:336px;height:280px\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4796993490224996\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"7528541080\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<!-- ph_pricepony_article_incontent_2 -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:336px;height:280px\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4796993490224996\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"2964262507\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<\/div><\/p>\n<p><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/disable-imessage-2.webp 640w,https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/disable-imessage-2-146x300.webp 146w,https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/disable-imessage-2-500x1024.webp 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 122px) 100vw, 122px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/disable-imessage-2.png\" height=\"250\" width=\"122\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/disable-imessage-2.png 640w, https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/disable-imessage-2-146x300.png 146w, https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/disable-imessage-2-500x1024.png 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 122px) 100vw, 122px\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-39047 sp-no-webp\" alt=\"disable imessage 2\" decoding=\"async\"  > <\/picture><\/p>\n<p>Before you disable iMessage on your iPhone, turn it off on all other Apple devices on which you are using iMessage like iPad, Mac or even other iPhones.
