I have a variable of duration and I want to get an histogram where each bar (24 in total, for each hour) contains the total messages recieved at the same hour

Check out the documentation for histogram. You likely want to use one of these syntaxes.

The histogram function can operate on datetime and duration arrays. Here's an example using datetime; you should be able to adapt it to operate on a duration array.
midnight = datetime('today');
secondsPerDay = seconds(days(1));
s = seconds(randi(secondsPerDay, 1000, 1));
T = midnight + s;
T(1:10) % Show the first few elements of T to show they contain date and time information
ans = 10×1 datetime array

histogram(T, midnight + hours(0:24)) % 1 hour long bins
