Messages disappearing from imessage I have moved mobile phone providers, and transferred my ol number across to my new mobile phone service. Since then, when I get messages from people, it will show up in my notifications, and sometimes it will appear when I go into the messages app. When it does this, if I check a few minutes later, it has disappeared, almost like it has been filtered out. Other times it will appear, but then, as before disappear if I go and look for it again. I can search for the missing messages, and they will show up in the search results, but when I select the message, it takes me through the conversation thread, but the message does not show. I have tried turning off and on imessage, and facetime loads of times, I have checked and the phone number and details are correct in the settings. Messages are set to keep for forever. Any ideas how I can fix this, I may have to just reset the phone and restore from backup, but am worried that this might just restore the fault along with the data?

iMessage on iPad not working I cannot get iMessage to work on my iPad. It works on my iPhone. I have looked at all the fixes but one part that is confusing is turn off iMessage and FaceTime. When I go to them in settings it doesn’t give me that option. I get this same message on both iMessage and FaceTime. I have been messing around with this for a couple days now, I even deleted everything on the iPad and restored to factory settings. I started new without restoring with the backup. I still get the same issue. Any ideas what I am doing wrong? This just started out of the blue, I haven’t had any issues with this for years. It wasn’t from a update, I actually did a update to try and correct the problem. any help would be appreciated. thanks.

Hey Stacory,

Take a moment to look over the steps in the article below:

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

If the issue persists, let us know what specifically happens when trying to use iMessage? Is there any specific error or message you receive?

Cheers!
