Hi, just wondering if anyone is having issues with messages after upgrade to 16.4.1. My messages freeze and when I go back in, it’s a blank screen. I have to reboot to be able to send a text. And I also have to ask Siri to sit off my phone, pressing the side buttons do not work right away. Is there anyway to fix this?
iPhone 14 Pro Max
I tried cycling the "AppleID -> iCloud -> Messages" button --> initially received a "Messages have not been fully downloaded to this iPhone" warning and hit cancel, then rebooted and did it again, cancelled again (was assuming they would eventually fully download).
Have not had the problem recur for the past 12 hours, but hard to say if it's cycling the button or just the passage of ~4 days of time. Hard to be sure it's fully resolved after 12 hours but I rebooted perhaps 10-15 times yesterday to be able to respond to work texts with an average reboot to failure time of 15-30 mins, so I think it's solved for now.
Of note, I have about 14GB of messages storage total.
Confirming that after 4 days of non-stop issues and needs for reboots, the problem disappeared and has stayed gone for 2 days now.
I’m having the same issue messages freezes and can’t go into setting then messages as that freezes, can’t turn phone off any suggestions please
How did you switch phone off first time to reboot please the buttons not working for switching off since the update x
What can we do abt text glitches since doing this latest update?? I’m so frustrated
Where are the replies from Apple?? All I see is the same complaint from users!!!
Is anyone having issues with messages with iOS 16.4.1?
