You cannot, however, deassociate the Apple ID email address when there is no associated iPhone and thus no registered phone number reachable via iMessage. (This is mentioned in the link.)
- ckcheng 3y agoIsn’t it possible to click that checkbox next to one’s email to deregister it from iMessage from the Message app on a Mac? I was under the impression it’s [1] possible but I’m away from my Mac to check. Worse case one could change one’s Apple ID’s email. Apple should make this stuff more obvious though [1]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38780442 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38780442
- jxdxbx 3y agoYou can’t remove your last option. It’s probably happening because her Apple ID is her real email so she’d have to first change that which is way unintuitive. I think it’s best with Apple to log in with an iCloud email address even if you don’t use it.
- ckcheng 3y agoOh you're right, you can't remove the last option (just confirmed by trying). It's the worse case then, and she'd have to change/remove her email from her Apple ID [1]. Apple should do better and make it easier in this kind of case. They already allow one to deregister a phone number from iMessage via a web page, how hard could it be for them to do the same for an email...
