“iMessage and iCloud accounts don’t match” 2020 “iMessage and iCloud accounts don’t match” I can’t retrieve my text messages, I get a pop-up stating my accounts do not match. First of all, I don’t have a different “account” for iMessage and I have never, ever changed my username (which is my iCloud email address). Going into settings > Messages > signout of iCloud DOES NOT WORK. Signing in and out of iCloud ANYWHERE, does NOT work in ANY area of settings. What is the problem? Why does this have to be so complicated?
