Time Sensitive Message Failed to Send

I have been having a recurring issue that seems to be at random times and in random frequencies. After the last iOS update is when this issue began happening. It says:

"Time Sensitive

Message Failed to Send

The message failed to send."

When this error occurs, some of my messages will randomly send, and some will not. I am unable to find a rhyme or reason. Attached is a screenshot.


I have an iPhone 8 with iOS 15.3.1

So when the message notifies you that it’s failed due to time sensitivity lightly drag the notification <- that way there would be two choices ‘clear’ and ‘options’ click on options and and the top it will offer an option to turn off time sensitivity click that and messages should come through! :)

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?

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 ♥︎
