Messages will not download on my iPad for two days

About 2 months ago my iPad stopped receiving Messages instantly. It takes 2 days to download. I have been to a computer guru and he could not fix it. He said all my iCloud settings across my iPhone and Mac are correct and iPhone and Mac Messages work perfectly.

What can I do please

iPad, 14

Hi,


Pls check whether Messages app is the most updated version by trying these steps:


  1. Go to App Store app and tap on your profile photo.
  2. Scroll down and you will see each app with an Update button on the right.
  3. See if you can find Messages app within them, if yes, tap on the Update button.
  4. Then open your Messages app and check if the issue has been resolved.


Hope this helps.


Cool Regards,

Pallas

Hi Pallas


Yes, I have the most updated version of Messages. I update Apps every day. I only had 2 weeks of past Apps in App Store list for viewing and they were all updated. No change with Messages on IPad except this morning I text someone I have not been in touch with for weeks and received an instant reply. The people I regularly text on ipad I do not get a response. I tap their photo and type. No response on ipad.
