iMessage not working after latest update

Since the new update, my phone says ‘iMessage needs to be on to message this person’ when my iMessage IS on. This is an email not a phone number that I’m messaging. How do i fix it?

iOS updates generally aim to enhance user experience, boost security, and fix bugs rather than disrupt core features. Battery Optimisation issues after updates might stem from underlying, unmentioned factors. Updates won't typically alter personal data but may refine settings or features. Backup before major updates for safety. Review Apple's update details and backup advice for a smooth process.


Kindly consider checking your settings and addressing any device issues before attributing the issue to external factors.
