We need more detail about what you mean by this. If you see a message we need to know exactly what it says. I don't think messages can be disabled unless you are doing it with screen Time. In that case, if an app or feature on your device is not working, not appearing, or is restricted (grayed out), a frequent reason is it may have been disabled using Screen Time, or by an IT administrator if you are using a device owned by an employer or educational institution.

- Read this support article If your Apple ID or other options are greyed out in Settings —> If your Apple Account is grayed out in Settings - Apple Support


Tap your Settings app > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > scroll to Allow Changes and turn on.


- If the device is managed (check: Settings > General > VPN (or Profiles) & Device Management), contact the IT department of the organization that is doing the managing.
