Imessage not activating

Hi, my imessage has failed to activate for the past 4 days, and I was wondering on how to fix this?


I've signed out of my apple ID multiple times, resetted both my network settings and all settings as well as restarted my phone numerous times, however none of these methods have worked.



iPhone 11, iOS 15

Some things you can try. Do you have access to another WiFi network where you can try? That has worked for several people.


Try a restart.

Restart your iPad.   *


Try a forced restart. See the section towards the end of the article.


Reset Device. -


If necessary


Hard reset.     -


Do a backup and try a factory reset. Then restore from the backup.


Restore to Factory setting.      *


Restore - If you see an error when you update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod.   *


Backup - Restore your device from an iCloud or iTunes backup.     *
