For example, messenger iMessage is the most popular messenger on iPhones.
However, despite its popularity, users sometimes face various problems.
it’s possible for you to fix this problem in three steps through your iPhones prefs.
Lets take a closer look at this problem.
Why is iMessage using your Email instead of your phone number?
Many users think that iMessage and the Messages app on your iPhone are the same.
Its not so clear-cut.
The fact is that iMessage is one of the services that come with Messages.
It allows you to send messages using the Internet.
Because iMessage is an independent service, it is not attached to your phone number.
Of course, your iPhone will default to use your Primary phone number for iMessage.
If this happens, it wont make much difference.
People will need your email address instead of your phone number to write you an iMessage.
This is pretty easy to change.
Note that you must have a SIM or eSIM installed with that phone number to expose the phone number.
You will not be able to put any random phone number.
You may also lose access to group chats where youve been added by Emails.
you’ve got the option to say youve switched to another account.
However, your chat history will be saved in the Messages app.
Does iMessage free?
Lets deal with the most popular question about iMessage once and for all.
The answer, of course, is yes.
IMessage is free as long as you have an Internet connection.
However, you should pay attention to the color of the messages in Messages.
If the color of a message is blue, it means that IMMessage sent it.
This can be quickly done through the configs.
you could understand what message will be sent by the inscription in the text line of the Messages utility.
On the other hand, if you write Text Message, then a plain text message will be sent.
In addition, you will not be able to use group chats assigned to your iMessage account.
