If you have recently changed your phone number, it’s essential to update it on your iMessage and FaceTime on your iPhone. In this blog post, we’ll guide you on how to update phone numbers on iMessage and FaceTime on your iPhone.
Firstly, you need to go to iCloud and click on your name. You will see an option named ‘Name, Phone Numbers, Email.’ Here, click on ‘Reachable At’ and press the ‘edit’ button to update your phone number. However, if you see a message that says your number is being used for iMessage or FaceTime, you need to turn them off before trying again.
To turn off iMessage and FaceTime, go to your phone’s settings and scroll down to ‘Messages’ and ‘FaceTime.’ Click on both of these options and turn them off. Once you have turned off iMessage and FaceTime, go back to ‘Name, Phone Numbers, Email’ and press the ‘edit’ button. From here, you can add your new phone number and country code. Once you have added your new phone number, click ‘next,’ and it will be updated.
If you’re unable to update your phone number through iCloud, you can also do it locally on your phone. For this, go to your phone’s settings and click on ‘Messages.’ You will see an option on the top of the page to add a new phone number. You can edit your number here, and once updated, your new phone number will be associated with iMessage and FaceTime.
In conclusion, updating your phone number on iMessage and FaceTime is a simple process that can be done through iCloud or your phone’s settings. By following these steps, you can ensure that your contacts can reach you through iMessage and FaceTime on your iPhone.
