My family and I have to use WhatsApp because my parents are completely unable to send me an actual text message from their iPhone to my Android phone. I have completely unregistered my phone number from my iCloud account (which is actually only possible due to a lawsuit against Apple as you used to still have your iPhone to do this), and we've removed all traces of my contact information on their phone, but Apple is still somehow routing their text messages only to iMessage. Also, Apple seems to intentionally degrade images sent between Apple and Android phones.
- influenxe 3y agoProbably because you’re doing it wrong? You’re meant to “deregister” the number using the dedicated webpage, not simply unregister it / remove the number from your iCloud account.

- bmitc 3y agoI did deregister it via the website they were forced to put up after being sued, as I've already mentioned. I just said iCloud instead of iMessage. It should've been clear from the rest of my comment. Maybe don't put the blame on me. It's a $1,000 phone and trillion dollar company who can't, or won't, send a text message properly. Also, I don't even use an iPhone. How is it on me that an iPhone can't send me a text message?
