I’ve been having this issue since 14.0 update. First, on my iPhone 7. It had become so frustrating to receive messages hours to days later that I recently upgraded to an XS and, now, the issue continues to happen. I tried factory resets, network resets on the 7, replaced the battery and nothing resolved the issue. So, now I’ve gotten a new phone and to still have the issue is frustrating to say the least ...

I've also been having this issue, since probably October or November 2020.

I've restarted and updated, but the problem persists. I've also tried reconfiguring and turning off Facetime (this was recommended on another site).

A network setting reset seems to trigger the "stuck" iMessages to be received, but the problem continues after.

It only seems to be for iMessages. The longest delay I've had so far was about 2.5 days.


I'm rocking an iPhone 8, but I don't think it's the issue. Carrier is Cricket.


Any tips would be super appreciated!! Thanks in advance for your help.
