Due to iCloud or network issues, you may find yourself unable to send messages via iMessage. You will then see the message ‘Signed out of iMessage’ in the Messages app. Fortunately, you can fix this problem by reactivating iMessage.
When iMessage is logged out, there is usually no explanation as to why. A general warning is shown. This will tell you that an error has occurred and you are logged out of your iMessage account. This can cause you to miss messages. You can then solve this problem via settings.
Logged out of iMessage
Is there an exclamation mark next to the Messages app and can you no longer send messages via iMessage because you are logged out? In most cases, you can easily solve this by reactivating iMessage. To do this, follow the steps below:

- Open ‘Messages’
- Re-enable iMessage
- Please wait until activation is complete
Are you having this problem on your Mac? You can reactivate iMessage via the Messages app â–¸ Menu bar â–¸ Messages â–¸ Preferences â–¸ iMessage.
After you have completed the steps, in most cases you will be able to use iMessage and the Messages app again. If this is not the case, there may be problems with the network or your iCloud account.
You can then solve this by first restoring the network settings. If that does not help, you can safely log out of iCloud and then log back in. How to do this exactly, you can read in this extensive step-by-step plan.
