The problem: If you started with an iPhone and linked your phone number to iMessage, if you decide to move to a Windows Phone or an Android, messages from your friends sent through iMessage will be delayed or rejected.
Whether it’s a bug or an actual punitive measure taken by Apple, it’s frustrated a number of former iPhone users, upsetting one woman enough to file a class action lawsuit.
That apparently garnered enough press to motivate Apple to act. They’ve now set up a support page, detailing the best way to deactivate iMessage, and they’ve now publicly stated that they’re working on a proper fix for the issue for people who decide to switch from iDevices to competitor’s products.
