After more than 15 years covering everything Apple, it’s with a heavy heart we announce that we will no longer be publishing new content on iMore and the iMore forums will be closing as of November 1st, 2024.
So, iMessage is back up. It just isn't using my phone number. Says "waiting for activation."
If it has cleared up for you, try rebooting your phone and then try again.
I've done everything I can think of and I'm still having this exact issue. Says "waiting for activation". Any other suggestions?
