How to Update Your Phone Number for iMessage and FaceTime

You can easily change your phone number for iMessage and FaceTime. You just have to make sure to turn off both iOS and FaceTime first.
Once you turn them off, you can access your phone number via iCloud and on the phone tab of the settings page.
Once you change your number, turn on iMessage and FaceTime and the new number that you added will reflect on iMessage and FaceTime.

It’s saying it sent me a code to verify adding a phone number and I don’t know where to find it

[@lena-yd9by]

Can you do it for an apple iPad and a Samsung phone?

[@rorieroseacasio1678]

Does iMessage in ipad only for apple users? I mean, you can only send messages to only apple users? I’ve been trying to use my # to be reacheable by iMessage but my sim # wont registered if i look back in iMessage, only my apple id appeared and nothing else.

[@zell23703]

Make sure to do it in the phone tab as well and power phone off then you should be good

[@yvxzzz]

I have a quick question, if you change your number, and want to get back to your old phone number, will the old imessages and everything else be saved?

[@dinacrosby3258]

I recently got a new number, everything pretty much works great. But when I text another apple user off iMessage, it comes up as my email instead of my number. Now usually you would just be able to go in settings, send and receive, then select your number instead of email, but the number that is in my send and receive is my old number and when I select it it goes grey with the loading circle at the side and after about 20 minutes it goes back to normal selecting my email. I need help setting the number in ‘send and receive’ to my new number

[@scyths8597]

help same. did it select for you or still not?

[@Miyuhduh]

did u ever figure it out?

[@henriettayakubu3384]

[@lovelyone98]

Can you explain how to do this for Android phones?

[@catherine4781]

[@jacksonwinney]

does this work with a google voice number?

[@SoThts.kailah]

Jackson Winney exactly

[@nicf20]

Can someone explain how to not have my name come up when texting someone new? Like “maybe/ (full name)” please !!!

[@longshuang99]

How does this apply to Android phone? Can the Android phone owner or third-party iPhone owner register a Android phone number with iMessage?
(The reason to ask this -- sometimes my text to the group that has an Android phone, the Android phone fail to receive the text)
