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

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.
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
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
Time sensitive
massege send failed pls how do I fixed it
Time sensitive messages drive me nuts help
How to delete time sensitive display when I send a message and is not deleivered
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! :)
Hello Notched,
To turn this off Go to Settings > Scroll down to Focus > You can have this set for All the Focus groups, but will just do the "Do Not Disturb" for example. Click on "Do Not Disturb" > Click on Apps > There you will See "Time Sensitive Notifications" > Slide this to OFF.
A Second Place to check or Notifications is;
Settings > Scroll down to Notifications > Scroll down to Messages > Under "ALWAYS DELIVER IMMEDIATELY" Slide this to OFF.
Hope this helps.
What's your iPhone storage like? I was having this issue when my phone's storage was almost full and it was causing a number of different issues.
Once I cleared my iPhone's storage up, I no longer had this issue.
This error message has been occurring for the past 23 years. It's just one of those things that slips through Apple's net. I did report it 23 years ago to Apple but they clearly haven't done anything about it.
I have this problem too. It has nothing to do with Focus as I don’t have it set. And if I try again to send the message it usually goes thru on the second or third try.
I tried this multiple times and my messages are still failing
Having same problem. Apple response isn’t consistent with iphone 10 i just deleted the “focus” under settings instead. Seems to happen only when driving and using voice to text. Fingers crossed.
So found this and guess what?! My send a sms was off!!! I have never turned this off and each update seems to change my settings so turned this back on. Jumping jeezus on a pogo stick lol.
I attempted to "Reset Network Settings" and it fixed this problem on my end
