Now the company is finally acknowledging the problems and rolling out a slate of bug fixes to make Apple-to-Android messaging less of a nightmare.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of sending regular SMS text messages via wireless carriers, iMessage transfers messages across Apple&#8217;s own servers to allow iPhone users to message one another without paying carrier fees.<\/p>\n<p>But some people who switch from an iPhone to a non-Apple device have found it difficult to dissociate their phone numbers from iMessage. That leads to text messages from friends getting sucked up into Apple&#8217;s database and disappearing instead of being sent along to the person&#8217;s new phone as a traditional SMS message.<\/p>\n<p>Users can turn off iMessage on all their Apple devices to remedy the problem, but sometimes the issue persists, especially if a user doesn&#8217;t disable iMessage before selling his or her old iPhone.<\/p>\n<p>One frustrated customer is suing Apple over the issue, claiming that iPhone defectors are being &#8220;penalized and unable to obtain the full benefits of their wireless-service contracts.&#8221; The claimant is seeking class-action status for the suit.<\/p>\n<p>The growing backlash has now forced Apple to address the problem directly.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We recently fixed a server-side iMessage bug which was causing an issue for some users, and we have an additional bug fix in a future software update,&#8221; the company told Re\/code in a statement Thursday. It&#8217;s not clear when the new bug fix will be implemented.<\/p>\n<p>Business Insider has a handy guide to help ensure your texts don&#8217;t get caught in iMessage purgatory forever.<\/p>\n<p>Source: CNN<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple&#8217;s Internet-based messaging service, iMessage, has long had problems when it comes to interacting with non-Apple devices.
