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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.
