Hi gustapanemarco,
It sounds like you're having trouble with Messages app and I want to help.
Let's try forcing Messages to close and restarting your iPhone:

Let me know if that helps get Messages launched. Tell me what happens when you try to start Messages and what you see.

Hi gustapanemarco,
If you go to Settings > General > iPhone Storage, is your iPhone full or nearly full for the internal storage?
We might have to try and backup and restore your device using a computer to try and repair this issue.
