iMessage hangs when composing new message

I have a relatively new iPhone 13pro. When I go into iMessage and then click on the new message icon, the phone appears to hang for about 5-10 seconds. If I type, it remembers and eventually catches up, but sometimes it just fails.


I've reset the keyboard dictionary, but that did nothing to improve the problem. Is anyone else seeing this, or does Apple need to send me the free t-shirt for finding a bug? 8-)


Thanks!
