My phone is fixed! I went to the Genius Bar a few days ago and they were stumped and couldn’t help me. I scheduled a call with Apple support and as part of their normal troubleshooting they reset my connection to the iMessage server on their side and had me restart my phone. It instantly started working. If you’re having problems, I suggest you schedule a phone call with Apple support. They have more robust troubleshooting systems an additional access than the in-store folks do.
