Hey there Mtttywoup,


We'd like to help by learning more about what's happening, along with ruling out some possible causes:


  1. You mentioned that you're able to send text messages, but they 'delete immediately'. What exactly did you mean by this? Did you mean that you're able to send messages, but only some of them vanish after some time? The more details you provide, the better we'll understand the issue occurring.
  2. While you mentioned this occurs with iMessages(blue texts), when did this start, and does this also occur with regular SMS(green texts)?
  3. We see you have iOS 16, but the latest version is iOS 16.5.1. You can verify this within Settings > General > About. In case you needed it, this link shows how to first back up, then update: Update your iPhone or iPad


Cheers!
