Apple has said it is addressing several bugs within its iMessaging system which have caused text messages to become lost after the recipient switches to a non-Apple phone.
iMessaging allows iPhone users to send texts to other iOS devices via Apple's servers, bypassing text messaging charges. The problem arises once an iPhone user switches to an Android or Windows phone and chooses to keep their number previously recognised as an iPhone.
Users have complained that iMessages sent to them once they have changed phones have failed to be delivered as regular text messages, to the extent that a California-based woman has filed a law suit against the company.
Adrienne Moore, who now uses a Samsung phone, filed a complaint against Apple earlier this week, claiming the company failed to disclose its knowledge of the problem.
While the issue does not appear to affect all previous iPhone users, Apple issued a statement saying it recently "fixed a server-side iMessage bug which was causing an issue for some users," and was working on an additional fix for future software updates
