How to fix iMessage crashing

Just recently my iMessage will crash almost every 5-10 minutes. If I restart my iphone SE 2 it will work for a few minutes and then crash again. This is very frustrating as I cannot contact anyone. Also yes I’m up to date on updates and I have deleted large attachments and messages.

iPhone SE, iOS 15

Hello annika179,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities. It looks like iMessage keeps crashing on your iPhone. We understand how important it is to be able to communicate with family, and friends, and we'd like to help.


What do you mean when you say iMessage is crashing? Does it quit unexpectedly, stop responding, or show an error message? Please specify.

Are you experiencing this behavior with any apps other than iMessage?

What is the exact iOS 15 version installed on your iPhone? Settings > General > About.


We recently released iOS 15.0.1, so if you haven’t updated to that, let’s do so now.
