New iPhone 11

Hello I just got my new iPhone 11 and when I try to send iMessage messages to people they won’t deliver and with one specific person it’s only using text message do I have to wait for my iMessage to activate?

iPhone 11, iOS 14

See if anything here helps.

Some things you can try. Do you have access to another WiFi network where you can try? That has worked for several people.


Try a restart.


Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch         


Try a forced restart.

If necessary


Hard reset.        


Do a backup and try a factory reset. Then restore from your backup.


Restore to Factory setting.
