Hello Valfromvalleystreamny,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. If you are having activation issues with iMessage after a recent update, and/or are unable to send or receive messages, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following articles helpful:
If you get an error when trying to activate iMessage or FaceTime - Apple Support
If you can't send or receive messages on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Also, I'm unclear if this is what you meant, but if you were saying that all of your devices are sharing the same Apple ID/iTunes account, that would generally not be recommended, as noted here:
Can I share my Apple ID with someone else?
You shouldn't share your Apple ID account information with other people. Each person should have their own Apple ID.
Frequently asked questions about Apple ID - Apple Support
Sincerely,
- Brenden
