I cant turn on messages in the icloud the toggle is stuck to off and wont move

I have the iphone se 3rd generation just bought it in October and I have the ios 17.2 and I noticed that my icloud storage keeps getting bigger instead of smaller when I manually backup. I deleted my texts everday manually. I was told apple doesnt permantley delete them on the servers side until up to 4 days after I have manually deleted them. Anyways I played around with my phone trying to figure out why my backups are getting bigger not smaller when Ive been deleting texts etc. I noticed that when I went to settings>apple id>icloud>apps using icloud>show all>scroll to messages in icloud the toggle wont turn on. Its STUCK ON OFF. Im wondering if this is a bug in ios 17.2 since its a new feature in this particular ios 17.2. Im also wondering if this is why my storage keeps getting bigger not smaller when Ive deleted texts. This is annoyong it needs to be fixed. Ive been reporting it.
