Time Sensitive Message Failed to Send

My messages have been invaded by the message Time Sensitive Failure of message to send and yet each time the message has been successfully sent. It’s happening all the time now. I have the iPhone 8 . It’s driving me nuts. How can I fix this please.

So I have iPhone XR and yes since the last IOS upgrade on my settings I have issues. It’s coming back that my message was not delivered due to a sensitive time issue? What is the world sensitive time means??? I am frustrated please help if you can

thanks

I found out how to fix it. I’m just going to put it as a new question tab

This did not work for me. I never used focus and it’s never been enabled on my phone. Why can’t I send pictures messages? I can suddenly only send regular text messages. Someone from Apple has to know something.

Where is Apple's response and how to fix this issue? I can never find where they respond. This message board needs fixed to make it easier. Anyway, how do we fix this? Anyone?

This was solved for me by going to the messages list in iMessage, clicking “Edit” in the upper-left corner, and clearing out all messages in the “recently deleted” submenu

The same thing only happens to me on one particular group. Otherwise it doesn’t affect my messages. But, I do use that group quite often, so it is driving me nuts not being able to send anything.

I understand what you stated that is happening to alot of us

Are you able to send text messages normally?

Are these failed messages sent to a specific contact?

Yet you suggest to shut off the notification sent back to us. ?

It states on the reuturn message that it failed to deliver it to the person.

Why would I turn off that message telling me it didn't get delievered?

Never mind I don’t know how to work this freaking website but..

I think I got it to work so you go to

settings> Messages> Notifications> turn off *dissble* time sensitive notifications

I hope this helps anybody if anyone finds this

Hi Notched,

Thank you for contacting Apple Support Communities. It seems like you are receiving Time Sensitive notifications. Check to see if you have it enabled in Settings > Focus and disable it and see if the issue persists. The second article can help if there is an issue sending messages.

Are you able to send text messages normally?

Are these failed messages sent to a specific contact?

"When you first set up a Focus, you can turn on Time Sensitive Notifications to allow people and apps to notify you immediately, even when you have a Focus turned on. Here's how:

1. Go to Settings > Focus.
2. Select the Focus, then tap Apps under Allowed Notifications.
3. Turn on Time Sensitive."

Use Focus on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

If you can't send or receive messages on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

Please don't hesitate to let us know if you need additional assistance.

Cheers.

I was getting the same error each time I would turn on my IPhone 13 ( Ios 16.5 )

I could not see any reason why it was occurring and the message had been deleted.

I then found out deleted messages are in fact stored and available in some backup area.

I then deleted all these old backup messages and the Notification pop up no longer appeared when I started the phone

I experienced this issue while overseas while only using phone on wifi networks. Every time I turned on my hone I got multiple notifications of failure to send messages. I eventually solved by turning off “send as SMS” in settings > messages.

This is happening to me now I have the iPhone 15 Pro Max up-to-date and just one day it decided to not let me send messages saying time sensitive. Anyways usually the text will go through if I try to send it a few times or retype it and send it a few times. Did you end up finding a way to fix this because This whole fixing problem is definitely not possible for me either because I don’t put that **** on my phone but yeah if you have a fix, please let me know, thank you ♥︎

What the heck is focus. It has not always been there and now my messages keep saying time sensitive - cannot send.

1. What is Focus
2. What does time sensitive mean
3. how do I get rid of it so i can send messages to my daughter?

Please answer all 3 questions. I have read all the answers and it seems that your AI does not understand what everyone is asking. I do not want to send time sensative info. I am retired, I do not use my phone for work. I use it for family time.

Ditto what a pain in *** this is becoming. Hate 5g phones and network nothing but issues with service and phones ever since. Older phones having no issue without 5g which can’t use anyway because rural areas don’t have towers to handle 5g. Waste of money
