messages in icloud is currently disabled

I think it’s bc of the update ... I too have the same problem, sign out and back in to iCloud still same problem .. taping on the iCloud disabled and repair account still doesn’t disappear .. any help ??

If you don't already know, Messages in iCloud is an unreleased feature and is currently only available to beta testers running iOS 11.4 Beta. I'm not a beta tester, but I had the same "notification" running iOS 11.3 Released. I tapped the "Repair Account" link below the notice, but nothing happened so I tapped it a few more times thinking I missed it on the first try and all of a sudden the notice vanished. I'm guessing it's just a minor bug remaining from when they were beta testing the feature in iOS 11.3 Beta.

Is anyone else having this issue in combination with your messages disappearing and being unable to send or view texts?

I have been going back and forth with Apple all day and supposedly it's a (sudden) issue with my Apple ID...

I have the same problem - PLUS my sons message account (a family sharing account) wont log in. AND I can't approve family purchases - i get an infinite loop asking me to “login” - have been on the phone with support, no solve.

I have had it for the last two days when someone responds to a large group text by “liking” a message in iMessage but it comes through as sms. First I had to delete the whole thread bc the screen was blank with her message. Second time it just took forever to open. Not sure if it’s still a problem yet as I haven’t had it happen since updating earlier today. Came here about the OP.

I did a restart (side button + volume button, logged back in. At first the message was still there and when I went to send a text it asked me to log in to my account (Not sure why). I just hit cancel and sent a text anyway. Right after I did that the message went away. Seems to be fixed!

This worked for me, on iphone 7 plus:

Go to settings - messages - imessages. turn off imessages. power cycle phone. when restarted, turn imessages back on. Error message requesting "repair account" should have gone. Good luck

I’m having this same issue too. I went into icloud to see back up my phone because the woman at the apple store suggested i restore my phone. I looked and Messages wasn’t even there. I couldn’t restore it because none of my messages would have been saved in the backup. I’ve been having all kinds of problems with my software since 11 came out. My msssage notifications disappearing from my home screen if I don’t check them immediately. Apple maps delays and freezes for like two or three minutes at a time and i end up lost. And when i was on the phone with apple support trying to fix my first messages issue, they had me back it up from my computer, and it automatically restored itself to factory settings. I’ve used so much gas and time trying to fix these issues it’s ridiculous. I’ve had to restore my phone twice and one of those times i had to keep it at factory settings because my backup was corrupt and was draining my battery. They keep telling me it’s a software issue but now they’re saying I’m just gonna have to get a new phone and see if that helps at all. It’s starting to seem like apple’s just trying to get me to spend money. I’m getting sick of it.

I did this a couple days ago and it worked and I believe this was the sequence. Close out iMessage and logout of iCloud, turn off device, reboot device and turn back on iCloud and iMessage. Simple, but worked.

In settings, look at the top of the page and it will be your iCloud account. Going to that and at the bottom there should be a sign out. Sign out of that, close your iMessage and shut down. Turn back on turn on iCloud and iMessage. Again this was the other day, but I believe that was the sequence. Good luck.

I believe these are the instructions I found online that worked.

After software upgrade IOS 11.3 today I had this message appear also...

This works as I have just done it:

-Sign out of ICloud

-re boot your IPhone

-Sign back into ICloud

-Message has disappeared

I had to do it 2 times and now the message has disappeared but once you reboot go to your message first to see if that disable message has left if it has log back into IClound, If it hadn't reboot again before logging back into ICloud. Like I said I had to do it twice.

Here is the trick my friends. Go into settings Update your iCloud password. Then toggle iMessage to off (sider is no longer green). Power off phone. Turn phone on. Go back into settings. Toggle iMessage back on (green). Go back to your messages and guess what??? Problem is now fixed.

I think I know what you mean by the Sleep button - the one on the upper right side of the phone? And Home button the center round button but when I press them together it takes a screen shot - even when I hold it for longer, still no apple logo. Can you maybe clarify what you did?
