Hi all,
When trying to start the chat at the Wallet app, I keep getting this message: "iMessage needs to be enable to send this message". I have checked that iMessage is enabled. What am I missing?
Thanks!
Are you in the US and have your iPhone’s region set to US? Have you traveled recently?
What device model and iOS version are you using?
Do you use a VPN or ever had VPN software or profile installed? How about antivirus or cleaner software? Do you use Focus Modes? Do you have any screen time limits set?
Jeff, thanks for your support here. See responses:
I can add that it worked before I upgraded to the 17 Pro.
Are you trying to contact Apple? Is this in regard to an Apple Card Mastercard account? Does iMessage work for texting other people?
Yes, I'm trying to contact Apple. And yes, it's about the card. And yes, the iMessage work for other people.
Good question, I should had described before: it's the iPhone 17Pro, iOS 26.1.
Wallet app chat not recognizing iMessage enable.
