Delay delivery of text message

Hi thejazzgirl,

Thank you for giving us the chance to assist you with your iPhone. You can count on us to do our best to assist you or get you pointed in the right direction.

We understand that you are experiencing delays with the delivery of text messages.

We’d like to gather additional details that may help us be in a better position to assist you.

Is the issue isolated to text messages? Are you also experiencing the issue with iMessages?

How delayed are the messages? Are you experiencing delays on sent or received messages?

We recommend updating your iPhone if you haven’t. While it isn't inherently assured that an update will resolve the issue, updating to the latest version of iOS for your device can help isolate potential software issues. Kindly secure a backup and update.
