To get into the phone.
iii

In one case you are in to the phone, what your going to want to do is not tap the green Letters icon

.
four

But rather tap on the silver Settings icon

.

Quick tap on Settings.
5

It is going to open united states of america upward to the Settings window

.

I am going to curlicue downwards until we discover the Messages icon - to light-green piddling check box.
6

In that location is your Messages icon lets give that a single printing

.
7

Ane press on that gives the states a number of options

.

We have the options to continue Letters forever. I do non recommend doing that as it does take a space on your phone, especially if you got a lot of pictures. Important Messages can be saved we have a video on how to exercise that only that is another topic.
8

Blocked, Grapheme Count - non of those things that nosotros are looking for right at present

.
9

What we are looking for is iMessage

.

iMessage is fantastic it lets y'all transport Messages between iPhones, iPads, iPod Touches and all sorts of devices. It is great! Anything that can connect to the internet can received an iMessage and in that location is no cost for it. And so we are going to tap this, one fiddling time - so I'll switch here (my apologies) and it's going to plow that on.
ten

At present, "Your carrier may charge for SMS Letters used to activate iMessage"

.

That means that to set this up, you may be charged but once it is setup your not going to be charged to your Messages. Tap on OK.
11

Now, I accept the choice to use my Apple ID for iMessages or I can but utilise my phone number or I can use both

.

And so I am going to tap down here utilize my Apple ID for iMessages.
12

Equally for my Apple ID, let pull myself over here and sign on in real fast

.
xiii

Once you got your Password in, y'all are going to tap on Get

.
fourteen

If you do not want to tap on Go yous can tap on Sign In - tap information technology

.
15

Showing here at the summit - little spinning thing. As shortly every bit I am Signed In, then we volition be able to accept the next step.
16

Here nosotros go, next step is the Phone number that I am using and the electronic mail addresses that I have which is available to iMessage On

.

Nosotros tin add together to that if we would like to or we exercise not have to add that.
17

Personally, I am just going to use one of these

.

I am not going to tell you which 1 of this though because undoubtedly you will send me letters telling me how bang-up I am, I already hear that enough every day.
xviii

Once I have selected what I want, my Phone number and my e-mail address, I'm going to tap on Next

.
19

Next is going to verify me, lets get my greatness verified

.
20

Now I am verified, I can send read Receipts which a lets people know if my Messages have been read or not

.
21

You know personally I do not really care one way or the other here half read Receipts

.

You will know I read your message and did response which mean I know you. In that location is too Blocked pick we volition discuss it later - down here actually the very bottom just picking out.
22

"Send equally SMS" this is a bang-up office hither, OK

.

If iMessages is unavailable and you lot need to get that message out the door that is going to go as Send an SMS. I similar that, I do not like when I call back I had transport someone a message and information technology is not working. In fact it is frustrating.
23

Now we take a "Transport & Received" option

.
24

I got my two addresses set

.

Showtime new conversation from which one? From your phone number or from your email address? You lot can choose either ane. If you are using just your Email address and then obviously that is what yous always going to exist using. The advantage of using an email address is that someone on the computer can easily access you lot and they practise not actually demand your telephone number. For example, a computer - meaning a Mac.
25

If someone is on Mac, or an iPad, or something else like that or iPod bear upon and they want to bulletin you

.

Having your phone number sometimes might not work for them but having your e-mail will e'er work. Anyhow I am going to get out this as my telephone number for now because you lot never know why I am going to message someone and they might want to call me.
26

"Show Subject Field"- don't care, does not matter

.

"Character Count"- don't care, does not affair. You lot can change this. Yous can plow On the Discipline Field or yous tin plough on Character Count. I am not worried about Graphic symbol Count. I say what I have to say and that's it.
27

"Blocked"- If someone is disturbing you, you can add them and yous will not receive phone calls, letters, or Face Fourth dimension from anyone on the Blocked list

.

Of form they could ever change their number and you will showtime hearing from them again.
28

"Proceed Messages"- for 30 Days, for i Year, for forever

.

I am a fan, I supposed, of 30 days thing. It volition delete all the messages - annihilation older than 30 days gets deleted. At the moment I am going to cancel this and leave it set to forever. I usually become through and manually delete all of my messages. I will show you how to delete messages a lilliputian bit later in another tutorial. Anyhow, that is how your stuff says.
29

"Audio Messages"- y'all can send people Audio Messages

.

This is actually pretty cool. Your Audio Messages expire after 2 minutes. That ways the persons listens to it and and so information technology go away afterwards 2 minutes. You can ready this up as "Never", so that they never go abroad and you lot tin just delete them when y'all want to. Then I am going to set this up as Never because sometimes my kids might send me a really cute bulletin and I really honey those little guys. Now we have got that setup.
30

"Raise to Listen"- Raise your phone up to your ear and listen - you lot can hear the messages

.
31

"Video Messages" - video messages expire after 2 minutes or again, same situation y'all tin gear up it to expire as Never

.

Over again those kids, I am going to set this to Never. I delete the things that I do not want manually and I do not have hundreds of people messaging me. The minute start hundreds of people messaging me, I am going to change my account then I am not going to have hundreds of people messaging me and then that is all good.
32

So goodbye to Settings at present and go back upwardly hither

.

Now we can press our Home button one time- circle push button on the phone.
