How to Deregister iMessage Service When You Quit Your iPhone

November 18, 2014

iPhone users have long had the problem of not receiving messages from other iPhone users after having switched their iPhone in favor of an Android or other mobile device. This was because iOS users are required to deregister from Apple’s iMessage service once they move on to other devices. Failure to do so will result in the phone number being continually linked to the iMessage platform leaving users with other phones to wonder about the missing texts on their new device.

However, many users have since moved on to other devices without deactivating iMessage and hence the problem. Thankfully, Apple has finally made the transition process for such users smoother by releasing a new Deregister iMessage service that would now allow users to delink from the iMessage platform even after having ditched their iPhone.

If you have long lost your iPhone and are still having the problem of not receiving text messages, its time to make use of Apple’s new web tool. In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to deregister from iMessage using this latest service.
