Is there a fix for Apple's message delay problem?

Like many others I have been experiencing delays (of many hours and sometimes days) in receiving texts and imessages, and have given up sending imessages from my iphone 7 (on OS 15.7.2) as they rarely send successfully. My wife has similar problems with her iphone X. Is there a fix? (WhatsApp operates without a hitch)

iPhone 7, iOS 15

Hey Wardhall3,

To clarify, what happens when you try to send a SMS or iMessage? For example, do you receive any specific error or message?

Depending on the specifics of how the message fails to send, we'd recommend taking a look at the tips here: - If you can't send or receive messages on your iPhone or iPad

If the issue persists, let us know the following?

What version of iOS is your wife's iPhone on?
Does this persist on both Wi-Fi and cellular?
When messages arrive, is it several at once, back to back or is there a delay between each one?

Cheers!
