Hi
Has anyone had a problem regarding their iMessage? My ip5 states waiting for activation when I turn it on, has been since 5pm yest.
I've turned phone off & on - also reset the network settings.
I don't want to do a factory reset unless its the last chance saloon!
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance

    Try a hard reset (power + home) - this doesn't lose anything

    No just 1 - I thought it could be that so I logged into my partners & his didn't work either!

    It's so strange!

    You could try turning iMessage off then removing the phone from the Apple Support Profile of all Apple ID's it may have ever been associated with (need to login with each AppleID separately). Wait a couple of minutes then activate iMessage again. This has helped me in the past.

    On the subject of iMessage, has anyone noticed that text messages are not being sent as iMessages at the moment (i.e. they are displaying as green instead of blue). This is the case of my phone and also my granddaughter's phone. Is this a generic problem ?

    Seems to be ok on mine at present, although I did have this problem for a short while a couple of weeks ago.

    No reported issues currently according to the System Status page.
