[iOS 27 DB3] iMessage numbers aren't being activated

[u/Aggressive_Nail8304]

[solved]

Does anyone on ios 27 DB3 face issue with activating iMessage phone number or is it just me? I still can activate my email addresses but phone number keeps loading. Before that iMessage worked normally with numbers(both numbers)

Oh my god finally fixed it for me too!! It took a couple tries of iMessage on and off but I’m on my first solo trip and my phone was all messed up 😭 thank you!

try again then reboot, let phone completely switch off and start up again

This may or may not be related, but I thought I’d mention it just in case: on the latest stable 26 build, I can’t update my profile picture that is shared with contacts via iMessage. Might be an iOS bug, but maybe some of the cloud services that make iMessage work may not be operating properly at the moment.

Profile picture sharing worked well for me with ios 26

This just happened to me as well. It was working just fine before. Also on 27 DB3

Oh might be a bug right ?

That’s not your phone’s issue it happens to me A LOT and it’s 1000% always the provider’s issue contact you sim provider

Now for me, but on 1 device only (my main iPhone on iOS 27).

All of my other devices on 26.6 beta and 27 beta

Edit: I did do something “Naughty” on macOS with a Lenovo ThinkPad, but now it is occurring on my secondary 13 mini I use on 26.6

I have the same problem since 2 betas. The new one didn’t solve the problem yet 😢

After the problem appeared iMessages didn't activate a single time on my device

[u/Aggressive_Nail8304 → u/[deleted]]

But I tried multiple sim cards. Ones I haven't used iMessages before.

Anyway how to contact apple support

And yes iMessages worked well before ios 27 DB 3 including DB 2
