I want my iMessage back

Note that the app is now called Messages.

Are you in a country where it might have been deleted? --> https://support.apple.com/en-us/121327

If you deleted it, re-download it as instructed here --> https://support.apple.com//108105

Here are other things to try:

See if you hid it with restrictions:

Screen Time - Allowed apps https://support.apple.com/HT201304#allow-apps

- "If you turn off an app or feature, it won’t delete it, it’s just temporarily hidden from your Home screen."

- Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > [Enter passcode] > Allowed Apps

- Settings > Screen Time, scroll down, then turn off "Share across Devices"

See if it is in your App Library -->

Organize the Home Screen and App Library on your iPhone [iOS14] - https://support.apple.com/108324 From your Home Screen, swipe left until you see the App Library

"Search for it ( https://support.apple.com/HT201285 ). Swipe down from the middle of the Home screen and type the name of the app into the search field at the top of the screen. If it is in a folder, it will show the folder on the right of the app name after you tap on the app when it appears in the search."

"Reset the Home screen layout which will return the [app] to the home screen as long as it isn’t restricted. When you do this, it returns the home screen to out of the box condition and it will destroy any folders you had on the home screen. Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home screen layout."

Have no idea why you can't which would be essential to know for getting it back:

• Have your messages been reported as Spam, where you are now blocked from using the service?
• Is it an activation error that you have not described?
