messages in icloud is currently disabled

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’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 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?

Did you fix it?

have they fixed this yet?

Ive tapped my screen a thousand times and it still won’t disappear. Any other suggestions?

This is also happening to me to. Im not sure whats going on.

This *****!!!!! I have the same problem!

I also just realized that im not getting phone call on my Apple Watch 3... before the update everything worked perfect.

I was having that issue a couple of days ago. I would get a text notification and when i opened iMessage the message would be gone. It eventually resolved itself.

You are the best. This worked. Thanks so much

I have the same issue. Ran the update today. Grrr.

Yeah, I’m having the same issue. I’m going to try the soft reset and see what happens...
