Why isn’t my IMessage connecting?


Just the other day after updating to ios13, I was logged out of my Apple ID, all social media apps, and iMessage became unavailable. I also have not been receiving notifications from any social media apps.


I have done everything possible to reconnect my iMessage and get my apps to notify me. I have turned my phone on and off, I have turned iMessage on and off, I have logged out of all social media and logged back in, and still I have no notifications and iMessage still says “waiting to connect”, but every time I do enter my Apple ID to connect it, it never goes through.


This never happened before. What do I do?
