FAQs

What happens when you deregister a phone number in iMessage?

Your phone number will no longer be accessible through iMessage after you have finished the deregistration process. You should be able to receive text messages immediately, but it may take a few hours for some Apple devices to recognise that you are not using iMessage when they send you a message. If this happens, you will not be able to read the message until the next day.

How do I Unassociate a phone number from Apple ID?

To edit the trusted phone numbers on your iOS or iPadOS device, navigate to Settings > account name > Password & Security, then touch Edit next to the label that reads Trusted Phone Numbers. Select the number from the list, then tap the red icon labelled “delete,” and finally tap the confirmation button.

Can one Apple ID have two phone numbers?

No. The only purpose served by trusted phone numbers is the receipt of two-factor authentication codes. Aside from that, they do nothing with the Apple ID in order to receive messages or phone calls. For calls and texts, the only phone number that can be associated with an Apple ID comes from an iPhone that is logged in to that Apple ID.

What is mirroring on iPhone?

You are able to achieve just that by using the “Screen Mirroring” button located in the Control Center of your iOS device. This button allows you to copy the complete screen of your iOS device to a TV or projector using AirPlay. Through the use of AirPlay and Airtame, you are able to expand your desktop onto your television or projector, mirror the screen of your MacBook, and more.
