Many of iPhone users are using iMessage because it is a little easy to chat with your friends and much easier than others social medias like Facebook, Twitter or the Gmail but after Apple released iOS 5 to the public users found a bug in iOS 5 which is there was a lot of error and bugs in the software’s new iMessage application. Several users reported that their iMessage accounts continued to remain active after wiping their devices.

Yesterday Gizmodo published a lot of interesting and strange photos of iMessage conversation it was receiving on an iPhone after visiting an Apple Store for tech support. Apparently, when a Genius inserted his personal SIM card into the phone to test the device, the handset locked on to his iMessage account…

But follow with these images from Gizmodo The Loop this morning claiming that what happened with Gizmodo’s iPhone isn’t the result of a bug. It was simply an employee error.

“This was an extremely rare situation that occurred when a retail employee did not follow the correct service procedure and used their personal SIM to help a customer who did not have a working SIM,” Apple representative Natalie Harrison told The Loop. “This resulted in a temporary situation that has since been resolved by the employee.”
Since Apple doesn’t see this as an actual “bug,” we may never see an official fix for this. So it might be a good idea to remember this tip. So that Apple keeps saying that there is no error with iMessage ! Have you noticed your iMessage account staying active after wiping your device?
