Same here. Following upgrade last night iMessages on iPad are not going through.

Turned iMessage off and it will not restart. “Unable to contact the iMessage server” error message. Settings locks up when I open he iMessage section, trying to “verify” then fails.


I have reset networks, rebooted multiple times.

Network seems fine for other apps. I tried switching to cellular link via iPhone to be sure.
