You can fix this a couple of ways

Make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi. If you are, turn on and off airplane mode.

2 if that doesn’t work, power off and on your phone.

3 you may have to just wait it out. Sometimes features on apple platforms may be experiencing a down period.

4 you can call apple support as a last resort.

Hope I could help!
