Why my number is not showing in my phone settings

Why I can’t see my number on the settings (my number) ? and is this problem related to the fact that I can’t use my number for iMessage?? Also, i cant add the number manually in the settings.

iPhone 11 Pro Max, iOS 16

Try and Force Restart your iPhone EXACTLY as shown below and see whether that resolves the issue:

  • Press and quickly release Volume UP button
  • Press and quickly release Volume DOWN button
  • Press and Hold the SIDE button until an Apple logo appears and then release the Side button (Can take up to 20 seconds. (DO NOT release Side Button when invited to Slide Power OFF). 


Once the above action has been performed successfully, then try setting up iMessages again.
