Re: "My iMessage isn’t working: "can receive text on my imessage but I can’t send or receive images":

"also can’t send audio messages or iMessage games".

Seems you need a strong wi-fi signal, and or cellular data enabled, to use the messages app:

You can use Wi-Fi Assist to automatically switch to cellular when you have a poor Wi-Fi connection.
