Apparently I have an iMessage account that uhhh people have been messaging me on for like... years and since I don't have an iPhone it has just been going into the ether unless I happened to have a MacBook open when a message comes in, which happened for the first time today?Permalink On twitter.com

What is the identity property on which this iMessage application is allowing people to message me? Is it my email? I don't recall giving Apple my phone number except for account recovery?Permalink On twitter.com

Can I stop it? Can I redirect it to my real number? Or shut it down? How are people finding me on this account? Where did this come from?Permalink On twitter.com

So glad that the wonderful technological progress of communication now means I have 26 Slack accounts, a Discord account, a dozen emails, iMessage, Signal, Whatsapp, Keybase, Facebook Messanger, Google Voice, SMS, Matrix, IRC, Mastodon DM, and Twitter DM for people to reach me.Permalink On twitter.com

Sorry I'm just a little pissed at Apple b/c I found out my grandmother has been messaging me on a messaging service I didn't even know I had an account with, since 2019. I've never even owned an iPhone or iPad except for a work device which is only configured with my work email.Permalink On twitter.com

Disassociated my account somewhat by following aexm's advice and switching my Apple account to a single-use email just for its purpose so it won't get joined with people's contact lists... somehow, however that happens.Permalink On twitter.com

There does not seem to be any way to just turn off iMessage entirely, and I suspect that some people may just already have my Apple Account in their Apple Contacts or something like that? But hopefully this helps.Permalink On twitter.com

Every system that has an associated messaging account should be opt-*in* to messaging services and have the option of a Deadbox where you bounce all messages with a message to an appropriate contact venue.Permalink On twitter.com
