I attempted to text a video, and my iphone used an iCloud link. It’s been a spinning gear-wheel for over 12 hours in my messages. I can’t stop or get rid of the spinning gear wheel, even by shutting the phone on and off, disconnecting from Wi-Fi, and all the usual efforts. Has anybody figured out how to stop this?
iPhone 13, iOS 16
Hi drumtoad,
Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities. If you are trying to send a video, here are steps that may be useful:
1. Try a Force Restart to see if that helps with the spinning wheel: Force restart iPhone - Apple Support
2. Update your iPhone to rule out the older software: Update your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
3. Try the steps here to see if they help: How to use AirDrop on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
4. If you need further support, reach out to Apple Support here: Contact - Official Apple Support
Have a great day.
