In the past month or so I’ve been experiencing issues with my iPhone 14 pro delivering iMessages. It sometimes takes up to 5 minutes for the message to be delivered to the recipient. A couple iPhone owners I know are experiencing the same issue. All in different locations and all on different networks. So I’m wondering if it’s the Apple software that is causing this annoyance. Anyone else experiencing this?

Hey cyn117,
It's really good to know this happens in different locations and with different Wi-Fi networks as it helps to narrow down what's causing this to happen. To continue narrowing this down, we'll need some additional information. Is this happening with iMessages (blue bubbles) or SMS/MMS (green bubbles), or possibly both? Is this happening with all contacts or only one?
In the meantime, be sure your software is updated and then check for and install carrier updates, if available. Updates help by installing bug fixes and security updates. If an update is needed, back up first:
Keep us posted.
Take care!

Hello,
it’s happening with blue bubbles.
SMS delivers faster. I installed the latest IOS software. I feel that we did a lot of troubleshooting and nothing helped.
Ok! Thank you both for your assistance! I’ll give support a call.
