There is this terrible problem with iMessage that, even though I have disabled it on my iPod and iPad, people can still read some of the messages–since when opening iMessage on the other devices brings up the sign in screen drawer style, therefore exposing the messages for like half of a second but people are still able to read.

This has actually caused some drama amongst my friends.

In reply to Kam.

Hi Kam,

Do you want to sign into iMessage or not use it?

Since the phone number that you want to remove belongs to an iPhone that you don’t have anymore, change your Apple ID password.

When you change an Apple ID password, it removes all phone numbers from your iPad, iPod touch, and Mac. Calls or messages for the removed numbers no longer appear on those devices.

Then, you can set-up your new phone (if an iPhone) with iMessage and FaceTime, if desired.

Hi there. I guess I’m confused.

If I don’t have the phone then how would it send me a code?

I have a new number and new phone.. sorry if this is annoying. Please help.

I have inherited my daughters old i-mac and it seems impossible to sign into Facetime, any help on the net would be excellent but as usual, Apple has made the issue interminable!
