Indexing issue

I've had my phone plugged in for 3 days and its still says indexing.. turned off messages then back on and I see downloading still.. man this is ridiculous... I've reverted to my old iPhone. I guess I'll get to look at the new 11 but never use it since it won't work as I need it to work.. Unreal.. I'm about to throw it in the trash and just start using something else...

Have you tried waiting until it finishes indexing?

I have no idea of how long. I think you should be able to use the phone. Have you tried a restart?

Most likely the update reset everything and it started over.

I cannot get any old photos in messages from people. go to (i) and it says indexing... my phone has been updated for a few weeks.. this is ridiculous... does anyone else have this issue
