Has anyone else experienced significant delays in texting since updating to ios14? I will start to text several words and it’s as if the messaging app freezes and none of the words appear for a few seconds, then they all appear at once.
iPhone XS
Go to settings and pull down on the screen to show the search bar. Type “network” and you should see “reset network settings.” Select that and then select “reset network settings” again. It will ask for your passcode and want you to confirm that is what you want to do. It will restart your phone. Once it restarts, your settings have been reset.
I also reset my network settings. That resolved the slow text issue for about a day, and now it’s returned. It’s so frustrating to have to type and then wait several seconds for what you’ve typed to appear before you can review and then send it. I wish I had never downloaded the latest update. I’ve had other issues, too, but this one issue of extremely slow texting is lingering.
We are users just like you. We are not Apple.
I highly suggest everyone in this thread with this persistent issue to
I have tried restarting my phone and still have the problem. I am thinking it might be a bug in the new iOS version and I have reported it to Apple.
Repeat it again, then to restart. Maybe a few more times will set things right.
I’ve done the reset things several times. It’s a temporary fix before it start the delay typing. I had hopes that IOS 14.1 would fix this, but it didn’t. I also have to turn my iPhone SE sideways to text a link. It will not text a link in the usual vertical position. I wish I could reverse 14.
I have reset network settings. But the issue still occurs. Turning the phone off and on again works, but the problem shows back up again after some time. Something seems to be triggering it. On my phone at least. Just not sure what...
Not just in texting but while typing in notes too. Suggestions?
I’m also experiencing this delay. It’s not every time I open iMessage and start typing but I’d say it is 75% of the time and have also done a reset.
New iPhone doesn’t solve it. Had this issue on 8 plus on iOS 14 then upgraded to 12 Pro and same issue on that
No it won’t. Just resets your network settings. Meaning you will have to rejoin all the WiFi networks you were connected to
Since my last update IOS14, I have found that not only do I experience delayed texting, but most of my applications reverted back to default. I have had to reset nearly everything again - just when I had the text/ font at the size I preferred, the sound on everything was finally where I wanted it - and now I can't hear properly even with head phones on and the volume turned up full. I have spoken to others who have iPhones and they too have experienced similar. WHY? What is the point of having a ****** phone if you can't hear people speaking, hear the music, hear anything actually?
Yea resetting network only works temporarily and then back to the lag! It’s crazy how Apple is t fixing this. Possibly another tactic to buy a newer iPhone like they did with the slowing down of devices?!
delayed iMessage texting since IOS 14 update!
I receive some messages with a couple of hours to a day delay! I have reset my Network Settings which worked for a week and the problem disappeared but again the problem has shown up! could you tell me what the problem is? I am really disappointed.
Thanks!
Same problem. I think it’s apples attempt to make us think our phones are slow and need upgrading. Pretty clunky apple!!! Also have a massive delay in voice calls on my Apple Watch now a few years old. Basically if you don’t buy new apple products every year then you have to suffer these slow down issues!!
