Deregister – Unregister – Turn Off iMessage

You must have seen different tips and tricks on how to turn-off iMessage. Believe me I have tried them all and none seem to work. Those who still had iPhones/iDevices who tried to contact me via iMessage had their messages either go through or bounce back. The system rarely diverted them to me via SMS. Therefore, I lost a lot of incoming and probably some friends along the way:)

Needless to say after many complaints Apple actually released a tool that works.

1. Go here: https://selfsolve.apple.com/deregister-imessage

2. Type in your phone number

3. Receive a 6 digit text message and type that into the browser

DONE!

Enjoy cutting the final strings from Apple 😉

PRO TIP: The link only works via browser. If you try with your handheld, it will load, but it will not send you a text message after you type in your phone number. Go figure. Use a fully functional laptop.

iMessage for Android iMessage Description

There was no word about it anywhere, iSheep followers were stunned, what happened you ask? iMessage for Android was released by Apple. Wait, no it wasn’t by Apple, it was by a guy named Daniel Zweigart (Alias?). What he did is pretty remarkable. He took what I could only assume propitiatory code, rewrote it, created his own server (in China of course), created valid handshakes, and got iMessage to function with individual Apple logins. Pretty impressive. The only problem is, the information is floating back and forth on a server located in China and so is your Apple login information.

How does it look aesthetically, well its remarkably familiar to those who have used iOS before:

Thus far the reviews have been either fantastic or awful within the Android community:

If you have used the application I would suggest to reset your Apple password, I would even go as far in saying to remove the application from your handset.

How long will the application be on the Google Play store is difficult to say. I’m actually shocked its still there.
