iPhone 17 Pro Max: iMessage/FaceTime activation pop-ups
Hello,
I recently bought an iPhone 17 Pro Max and transferred my data from an iPhone 15. After the transfer, I started having issues with iMessage and FaceTime — I cannot activate them or turn them off.
Every 30 minutes I get a popup saying:
“Turn on iMessage and FaceTime?”
Sometimes I also see:
“Turn on iCloud?”
In Settings → Apps → iMessage the status always shows:
“Waiting for activation”
What I’ve already tried:
- Turned iMessage and FaceTime off → restarted the iPhone → turned them on again
- Reset network settings
- Switched to a different Wi-Fi network
- Turned iMessage and FaceTime off — the popup still appears
How can I fix this? I don’t even need iMessage or FaceTime. The constant popups are very annoying and disruptive.
iPhone 17 Pro Max, iOS 26
