Messages tab disabled

[Arun Kumar Narasimhan]

Until yesterday I was able to send and receive messages in APRS.FI Iphone mobile application, but today the the message tab got disabled, due to which I am neither able to send or receive any messages.

Can somebody help me how to enable the tab again so that I can send and receive messages.

Thanks

Hi,

The iPhone app probably thinks the Extra Features subscription is not
valid, or has expired. It's possible that there is a bug, but please check
if the subscription is valid first. Check a couple things:

1. In the aprs.fi app, go to More -> Subscription for Extra Features, and
check that it says "subscription for Extra Features is currently active!".
If it doesn't say so, it should also say why it is not active (the
subscription is cancelled, payment failed, or such).

2. In the iPhone Settings -> Your Name (Apple Account, in the very top) ->
Subscriptions, check that the aprs.fi subscription is Active.

If the two don't agree (aprs.fi doesn't see a subscription, but iOS
Settings shows an active subscription), something might be wrong in the
aprs.fi subscription validation, but it seems to be currently working and
there haven't been other complaints (at least, not yet :).

If both agree that the subscription is not active, you might need to renew
the subscription manually, or fix the payment method.
