[@TrevorNace]

Did this work for you? Yes? 😀 Give me a shoutout in the comments! No? 😢 Leave a comment with your problem and we'll figure it out together.

[@tfun101]

Ok my question is how did this just spontaneously happen to my phone and when will it happen again…I missed a super important message that I didn’t get until the next day.

[@user-pl7sd7zd1c]

Same ! Still won’t let me use my number for iMessages or fr

[@LosaNotoa]

Have you tried to remove your number and reselect your number again ? That worked for me if that helps

[@sooooooooveya]

Me toooo

Try this as it worked for me ….go to General settings scroll down to Shut Down at the bottom then touch, wait 30 seconds then power back on.

[@Juangie3]

You checked the address settings under the iMessage ? I had my number unchecked for some reason

[@Ramonaann777]

Thank you . Worked from the first step 🙏🏽😁

[@rodrigo6459]

Turn off and on the iMessage fixed it! Thanks!

[@mojones3857]

spent hours trying to activate my email but not receiving verification code. My final thought, maybe text messages not working? Found your video THANK YOU So MUCH!!

[@kerrylittle3900]

Thanks for the video. Followed the steps. My phone works ok now. Heard it could be a SIM card problem but my iPhone 14 doesn't need a SIM card.

[@tigtk421]

Second tip worked! Thanks!

[@TrevorNace]

Sure thing! Have a good one! 😊

[@gladlisa1]

thank you for this video was able to get it working after dealing with this issues for a week ..i apreciate this video very much

[@ruthowens1521]

Waiting for 5-10 seconds after toggling off iMessage before turning back on again worked. Yay!!!

[@Joshi_Ritu]

Thanks 👍it’s worked for me

[@TrevorNace]

I'm happy it works for you, Joshi! If you need help, just comment here anytime. 😊

[@bravesoulchannel1685]

Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom

[@brucesmith9144]

I have found that you may need to turn off your WiFi then turn it back on. Sometimes there is contention between data coming from the tower and WiFi.

[@hiraldeepkaursaini9021]

Bless your heart

[@TrevorNace]

Thank you for the kind words! I appreciate it. 😊

[@taz_x12]

Tried the first step but it said activation unsuccessful tap on imessage to try again, what does this mean . what do i do now

[@michaelbaker1821]

very good, 1st step worked for me

[@greesemonke3934]

immediately fixed my problem. thanks

[@Juangie3]

Thank you, for some reason my phone number was unchecked inside the setting where iMessages can be delivered. It was annoying me so much

[@CristianTorres-vo7mc]

Helped a lot thanks!!!

[@NobleBrains99]

First step was it! So helpful! Thanks!

[@isthatcervada]

i don’t know why but my phone just randomly got rid of the MMS option and won’t let me send messages after the IOS 17 update

[@citticat2]

I have an SE and had to re-boot phone. Thanks

[@Blessed1994]

After I paid off my phone I could no longer access my iMessage or use

[@user-ib6fv3tf7p]

I have a question whenever I press or hold onto js one specific message I can’t see the rest it’s js a dark screen plus the message I’m holding how do I fix this

[@one1zero0eight8]

Turning iMessage on and it activates again? That’s how to not a solution. Mine is completely grade out and I cannot access it at all.

[@jbizzytmg2244]

So in the process of the me clicking the iMessage button I clicked addresses right underneath before the button clicked off and then I selected my phone number again and it worked

[@liama8337]

I turned iMessage on and off and it’s killed it altogether 😅😅

[@AyewSylvia]

Also having problems with my iMessage my email is not appearing

[@travelngranny]

I’ll give all of that a try, but I still don’t understand why my iMessages are going to certain people and not others

[@TrevorNace]

Sorry to hear that. Sounds frustrating. The problem may be on the receiver's end rather than the sender. That may be why only some are receiving your messages.

[@SparkleFeather]

UGHHH my message app used to show all of the settings in messages but now won’t show anything so I can’t send any messages

[@LovingAtlanta]

😫Nope, nothing worked, software is up to date etc etc, still not working😫

[@gloriajuarez7520]

sameeee

[@LovingAtlanta]

@@gloriajuarez7520 - 😫I finally got in touch with Apple….it was an issue on their end. They had to do something in the system to restore iMessaging.

[@noyzemaka1]

How did u fix it ?

[@LovingAtlanta]

@@noyzemaka1 -👍💡 I called 🍎 Care, my call got forwarded and escalated a few times and finally an “advanced” tech support person told me iMessage was blocked because someone (they have no idea who) reported my number as Spam or something for sending unwanted text messages. That’s crazy because I only send text messages to people I have personally met or personally know. 😭 👍🙏She unblocked the feature and it works fine. 😃

[@gloriajuarez7520]

nothing has worked for me!!

[@elisabethann7838]

what if it doesn’t let me open imessage?

[@SinaloaTacos]

[@bobwhite7345]

Thank You for solving my issue

[@Popcat40]

But I have wi-fi

[@janenejones2036]

Tried all these suggestions. Kinda frustrating! I can send and receive messages from all my friends, and etc, except 2 of my adult kids. They have assured me that I am not blocked! The only way I can reach them is sending a group text to all four of my adult kids. This started up out of the blue. I have an iPhone and they’re android.
