Iphone Not Using Imessage

When you first set up Messages on your Mac, you're asked to sign in to your iMessage account with your Apple ID. Messages then automatically attempts to sign in every time you open it. Signing in to FaceTime is similar. Playstation games for mac free. If either app doesn't sign in successfully, try these solutions.

Sometimes, the problem of iMessages not working on iPhone is caused by an older iMessage getting stuck in an iMessage loop. Some users have reported fixing this issue by deleting the last iMessage received prior to the start of the problem. Last month, I advised users to stop using Facebook Messenger and switch to its stablemate WhatsApp. The reason is simple—security. This led to people asking me about Apple iMessage.

Check your Internet connection

Make sure that your Mac is connected to the Internet. You should be able to load web pages or receive email, for example.

Check for a service outage

Check the Apple System Status page for a temporary outage affecting iMessage or FaceTime.

Check your Date & Time settings

Choose Apple menu () > System Preferences, then click Date & Time. Make sure that the date, time, and time zone are correct.
If the ”Set date and time automatically” checkbox is selected, deselect it and select it again. (If the checkbox is dimmed, click and enter your administrator password.)

Make sure that your software is up to date

Check your Apple ID

To make sure that your Apple ID and password are correct, go to the Apple ID account page and sign in with the same Apple ID that you're using with Messages and FaceTime. If that works, open the app and take these steps:

Messages: Choose Messages > Preferences, then click Accounts. Select your iMessage account, then click Sign Out. Now sign in again with the same Apple ID you used on the Apple ID account page.
FaceTime: Choose FaceTime > Preferences. In the Settings tab, click Sign Out. Then sign in again with the same Apple ID you used on the Apple ID account page.
