My phone signed me out of messages

Hello MyPhoneIsNotWorking_1324,

If you were signed out of the Messages app, that means you were signed out of iMessage on your iPhone. In this case, you'll want to follow the steps outlined on this page to get signed back in: If you can’t turn on or sign in to iMessage or FaceTime

If you can’t turn on or sign in to iMessage or FaceTime

To use iMessage or FaceTime, you need to activate them on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. If you see an error message during activation, follow these steps.

When activating iMessage or FaceTime, you might see one of these messages:

* Waiting for activation

* Activation unsuccessful

* An error occurred during activation

* Could not sign in, please check your network connection

* Unable to contact the iMessage server. Try again.

Check your device settings

1. Make sure that you’re connected to a cellular data or Wi-Fi network. 

2. If you're using an iPhone, you need SMS messaging to activate your phone number with iMessage and FaceTime. Depending on your carrier, you might be charged for this SMS.

3. Go to Settings > General > Date & Time and make sure that your time zone is set correctly.

Turn off and restart iMessage and FaceTime

1. Go to Settings > Messages and turn off iMessage.

It might take up to 24 hours to activate iMessage and FaceTime. If the issue continues after 24 hours, follow these steps:

1. Make sure that your device has the latest version of iOS or iPadOS.

2. If you're using an iPhone, contact your carrier to make sure that you can send and receive SMS messages.
