What does repair account mean

$20 says you're running an iOS beta.

If so, you can't get help here. Beta software can not be discussed in the public forums.

Messages in iCloud have always been disabled.

They may have existed in beta (unreleased) versions of iOS.

It sounds like perhaps you purchased your iPhone from some unauthorized source, or attempted to restore a backup from a beta software backup.

Here's a clue: https://ios.gadgethacks.com/how-to/sync-all-your-messages-with-icloud-ios-11-4-0 182339/

Curious: If you go into Settings -> Apple ID -> iCloud, does Messages show up in the list of apps using iCloud?

I had the same issue after upgrading to iOS 11.3. I had to sign out of my Apple account on the device, reboot the device, and sign back in. After that, the message disappeared. Good Luck!

Found this all with just a little searching (via DuckDuckGo).

There are other threads on this well. It seems there is an issue where some users are getting this as part of the 11.3 standard update. It would appear, parts of the beta somehow bled into the release. It does give us a clue that messages are likely going to be included in the cloud, but when we don't know. Apple is going to have to help these folks out as it doesn't seem they did anything other than update to 11.3 the normal way.

For anyone dealing with this, I would recommend restoring your phone from backup, which should help get rid of this for you.

I did as rockmyplimsoul suggested: Signing out of iCloud, resetting the iPhone, and signing back in.

So far so good...No more message. 🙂

I will try the same with my iPad Pro.

Thank you so much for the tip!

No man, it's a bug in the latest update and it prevents you from even receiving SMSs...Apple must do better

It's nothing to do with purchasing from some unauthorized source. The iOS cannot run on hardware that's not from Apple

Nah updated to 11.3 last night. It’s everyone’s problem.

No, it is not "everyone's problem".

I have multiple devices on 11.3. No such problem.

Try again.

Not beta software, I’m using an X and have for months, last night I did the public update and have the same message... seems a ton of ppl are and they all believe it’s a bug

Screen shot??

I updated to 11.3 this morning on an iPhone I’ve been using for a couple of years and the message came up for me just now. Seems like a correlation!
