Apple
The investigator always PiunikaWeb iOS 12 poses serious problems with iMessage on all Apple devices. And strangely, the problem seems to be rooted in Apple's attempt to improve iMessage.
What is iOS 12 quietly introduced (he was left on the list of official features), is a unified thread for iMessage contacts with multiple phone numbers and email addresses. The theory is solid: a friend or family member with multiple numbers and / or devices will now find that all messages intended for them exist perfectly in a single thread.
The problem is that the implementation of this feature by iOS 12 merges threads with different contacts, which creates potentially embarrassing situations in which your message may be unintentionally sent to multiple people.
"Without a doubt, this problem started when I've" upgraded "to iOS12," Explain an assigned user. "This problem has been devastating and needs to be solved as soon as possible. I rely on iMessage and I can no longer trust the tool to send messages to the appropriate person. In the same way, I can not be sure who the texts are actually sent to. "
"Does any one know how to fix this iOS 12 bug that merges two contacts because my mother and sister are now under the same text thread," said other. "I have to send a message to my sister on Snapchat now."
"Our SMS are all fucked up. My son passes like my husband and vice versa, Explain another. "My mother sends me a text message and it goes on the phone of my husband or my son. In addition, we see the history of phone calls. WTH is going on ?! "
Yes, there are many ways to do it become clumsy.
As always, it's impossible to know the scale of the problem, but the number of affected users is growing rapidly. On Apple support communities, a wire where the poster explains the problem to Apple mods has collected more than 300 votes: "I also have this question".
Other the sons also appear, many with significant numbers of upvotesas well as complaints about social media.
So what's going on?
PiunikaWeb has found one thing in common: many affected users have an Apple ID shared between family members. This would indicate that Apple is merging iMessage threads based solely on an Apple ID and ignoring names, emails, and phone numbers. That said, although it was the (less than useful) approach, others report the problem when the recipients do not share an ID.
Therefore, the only way to get to the bottom of things is that Apple informs of the changes it has made in silence to iMessage and solutions to bring.
For millions of owners of iPad and iPhone, iMessage is the main reason they remain loyal to Apple and you do not keep it if you start sending their private messages to the wrong people …
Yes, that's why I warned developers of iOS 12 to wait.
Note: I have requested a statement from Apple and will update it as soon as I receive a response. He joins a growing list.
