A Strange iMessage Bug Is Causing Issues For iPhone Users Texting Android Ones
According to the latest reports, some iPhone owners are recently facing a strange issue nowadays. It is because of a new iMessage Bug. This bug is potentially wreaking havoc on folks who are trying to text Android users. Even though, some iPhone users have taken to social media to inform others about this new bug.
A New iMessage Bug Is Irritating iPhone Users
There are numerous Reddit threads filled with folks talking about how iPhone and Android texting isn’t working properly. It’s causing problems in people’s chats. Even though, some texts are simply not going through. When iPhone users are trying to text an Android user, the iPhone is adding a “+” symbol to the start of phone numbers.
The point worth mentioning here is that this issue isn’t just related to texting Android users. People are also facing the same issue with Google Voice numbers. The bug seems to be only affecting iPhone owners in the United States according to the latest reports.
Now, the issue is that adding the “+” character at the beginning of the phone numbers forces the iPhone to identify the number as an international one, even when it isn’t. In this way, a normal U.S.-based number is automatically changed to an overseas one, causing issues on both ends. It looks like the bug is connected to the iPhone, with no specific callouts to people sending texts from the Mac.
The point notable here is that the silicon giant’s update to iOS 16.5 earlier today does not appear to be the root issue. Many iPhone owners are pointing out that the issue sheared up for them before the updates were released. As far as the bug fixes are concerned, some users have advised that sending a text to yourself may fix the issue. Some users have been suggesting that the fix is already present server-side. On the other hand, others advise just changing the formatting of the number to add “+1” to the front.
