Messages turns green until app restart?
Got a tip for us? Let us know
Sometimes, for seemingly no reason at all, messages seems to stop working as iMessages and defaults to SMS. I'll find that conversations that were previously blue iMessages have all turned green, and I only have the ability to send as SMS (green) until I force close and restart the Messages app. This all seemed to have started around iOS15, though it could just as easily have been when I switch from my iPhone 12 Pro Max to my 13 Pro Max.
Has anyone else seen this? I've tried signing out and back into iMessage, but it hasn't helped.
(I'm an iOS 15.4 on my iPhone 13 Pro Max)

I've noticed this, also getting the your number prompt on other devices often now.
Yeah, I'm getting a ton of prompts to turn on wifi calling (when it was already on). I did find that my phone number is somehow no longer activating with iMessage. In other words, I can only reach/bre reached via my iCloud associated email addresses. Apple Support, all the way up to a senior advisor, has had no answers.I've noticed this, also getting the your number prompt on other devices often now.

Ugh I been getting this too hope it’s fixed next iOS update. It turns off snd all green and then I’ll get messages saying my Mac is now using the number and my watch. But they always have
Turns out my issue had something to do with the way the eSIM (tmobile) was activated. I ended up having to completely reset the phone, including "deleting" the eSIM, then reactivating it with the carrier, then restoring from an iCloud backup. What a pain. Weird thing is that everything worked fine (voice, data, text) with that occasional iMessage issue that got progressively worse until it flat out stopped working with my number (but worked fine with my iCloud email addresses).
