New iPhone 13 won’t let change from email address to phone number in iMessages.
Just purchased the iPhone 13: set it up today, finally got it activated to use iMessages, and it only will recognize my email address form my Apple ID, not my phone number. My phone number is listed under “you can receive messages to and reply from”.
However the phone will only allow me to check the email address, not the phone number. When I uncheck the email address, nothing happens.
when I toggle off iMessages and switch it back on, I get the iMessage Activation message, “An error occurred during activation. Try Again.”
I have tried the signing out of Apple ID, my number is never “greyed.” This applies to FaceTime feature as well.
very frustrating.
