Since updating to IOS 14 on the iphone XS imessage takes time to respond when you start for the first time. There also is a big lag in messages being send and received. Is there any specific reason this is happening and anything that can be done to make it work as before.

iPhone XS, iOS 14

Try and Force Restart your iPhone EXACTLY as shown below and see whether that resolves the issue:

  • Press and quickly release Volume UP button
  • Press and quickly release Volume DOWN button
  • Press and Hold the SIDE button until an Apple logo appears and then release the Side button (Can take up to 20 seconds. (DO NOT release Side Button when invited to Slide Power OFF).
