Hi,
For about a week now my iMessage has not been working because it is signed out of my Apple ID. When I try to "sign in" nothing happens and it does not even give me the option to enter credentials. I have looked and asked all around and nothing has worked. I tried restarting my phone, checking date and time, and everything else I could find online.
Does anyone know what might work?
iPhone 7, iOS 13
Have you checked Settings/Screen Time for any restrictions?
Try a forced restart.
If necessary
If there are restrictions in Screen Time that are preventing access, you will need to restore the device to factory settings. Do not restore from a backup made when the Screen Time code was active.
If there aren't any Screen Time restrictions, do a backup and try a factory reset. Then restore from your backup.
Backup - Restore your device from an iCloud or iTunes backup
Follow all steps here If you get an error when trying to activate iMessage or FaceTime - Apple Support
iMessage sits at "waiting for activation" and will not work
