Starting today, I cannot send new txt messages. When I go into messages, the top bar that normally has the EDIT and new msg icon is replaced with the search bar. All I can do is look at msgs that are on my phone and respond to existing ones.
I'll try restarting my iPhone 4, but wondered if anyone has seen this before? (and yes, latest firmware version, etc. on my iPhone 4).
Ah powering off and then on worked! Thank you! I should have thought of that. 😁
Me too except I have the iPhone 7. I’m so aggravated. And texts I deleted and recovered stay hidden. It’s showing I have texts but I can’t see them. Now I have to call Apple Support once again! I swear they know me over there. Every new phone it’s something. I’m done with Apple except the computers.
try a reset, hold down the home/power button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up. Then check and see if you can create a text message.

That worked. Now, why didn't I think of that!? 🙂
Thanks.

Can't create a new message. New message icon missing!
