I recently sent a text as an iMessage. When I load up the message thread, I now have a loading circle at the bottom of my screen under the most recent message I sent that never stops spinning. I sent an iMessage after it appeared and the message does not show up. I've never seen this and I'm trying to figure out if my message went out, if it's trying to receive a message and can't, or none of the above. Any help and a fix would be great! Thanks!

Hello dulljunkandstuff,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities! I understand that you're seeing a loading icon below a recently sent message in the Messages app on your iPhone, and new messages sent to this contact do not appear. You've come to the right place for a resolution.
Let's start by forcing the Messages app to close, then check if the loading icon still appears:

If there's no change, the following support article provides suggestions that I would like to have you try next. Be sure to start with the "Try these steps first" section. Based on the screenshot, your last message was sent as a SMS or MMS instead of an iMessage so you'll also want to check out the suggestions under the "If you see a green message bubble" section:
If you can't send or receive messages on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
If you're still experiencing the issue, some additional information that may be helpful to know is: Can you send and receive messages with other contacts? If so, are they iMessages or SMS/MMS?
Cheers!
