Hello farukh007,


Since that persisted while in safe mode, our next step will be to try that process under a newly created user account: Add a user or group on Mac - Apple Support


1. On your Mac, choose Apple menu  > System Settings, then click Users & Groups  in the sidebar. (You may need to scroll down.)
2. Click the Add Account button below the list of users on the right (you may be asked to enter your password.)
3. Click the New Account pop-up menu, then choose a type of user.
For more information about the options for each type of user, click the Help button in the lower-left corner of the dialog.
4. Enter a full name for the new user. An account name is generated automatically. To use a different account name, enter it now—you can’t change it later.
5. Enter a password for the user, then enter it again to verify. Enter a password hint to help the user remember their password.
6. Click Create User.


That should help to further isolate this to either a user-specific or system-wide conflict.


Let us know your result, and we'll keep moving forward from there.

Thanks for posting in the Apple Support Communities farukh007,


If you're unable to sign into your account for iMessage, try booting your Mac in safe mode, and singing in from there, to rule out a conflict with software that would otherwise load automatically. This page explains how:


If you're looking to forward messages from an iPhone, you'll also want to ensure your iPhone is configured correctly. We recommend following each of the steps from the page you linked here from in order: Forward SMS/MMS text messages from your iPhone to your Mac or iPad


We hope this helps!
