Re: Please help me for my iMessage to work
Wondering what happens when you try to use the Messages App:
eg: error message ? can't sign in ? can't send or receive texts / iMessages?
You may want to check your iPhone is using the newest compatible iOS version available by going to Settings > General > Software updates.
Eg: About iOS 15 Updates - Apple Supporti says OS 15.8.8 and
"This update provides bug fixes and security updates for your iPhone".
________
Reminder: It is always wise to back up iPhone first if you choose to update the iOs version
______________________________________
Else: If you have already installed iOS 15.8.8
See whether one of Apple Support's articles (link below) can help you troubleshoot:
If you can’t turn on or sign in to iMessage or FaceTime on your iPhone - Apple Support
or
If you can't send or receive messages on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
