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

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.

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.
