Hi Lexi3texi3,


Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.


If you're not able to enable iMessages, first try the troubleshooting tips in this article:

If you still can't "switch on" iMessages, I recommend backing up your iPhone and restoring the iOS software next:


iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
