Account recovery contacts- “iMessage error”
🆘 Cannot Add account recovery contact. The recovery contact has an iPhone and is updated to the current iOS. Recovery contact is also part of my Family contacts. I also have a friend that’s a recovery contact but only his name is on the recovery contacts list, not the family member. When I tap on the family member to add to recovery contacts list a message pops up saying “you can only use contacts that use iMessage”. The message settings on family contact iPhone has iMessages toggled on. I added the the family contact months ago to recovery contacts but after adding to family contacts, it is no longer on the official recovery contacts list. I believe all family contacts are automatically enabled as a recovery contact, if so, wouldn’t they be listed on the account recovery list? Thank you for any thoughts on this matter, it’s greatly appreciated. 📲💬💯
