I can't send and receive iMessages on my Apple iPad Pro (M5) 13-inch iPadOS 26

Cause 1 of 4: There are problems activating iMessage

The first time you activate iMessage, it may take a while before the activation is completed.

Solution: Turn off iMessages and try setting up your tablet for iMessaging again after some time.
