OK….EVERYBODY RELAX…I MAY have figured it out, (at least for my iPhone I did)!!
Yesterday, I came on here and noticed everyone having the same problem as me and NO ONE (of course) had any answers!! So I tried a few things.
First I turned EVERYTHING on the message app off, then I deleted the app all together, waited an hour or so, then added the app back into my phone. After that I still noticed I wasn’t getting the number showing on how many texts I had. Then I was exhausted and went to sleep.
I woke up this morning and had to send my husband a screenshot photo but noticed it was saying that I had “MMS TURNED OFF AND I NEEDED TO TURN IT ON”!
Then I remembered I had turned a lot of things off; so I went to the app and only turned prac everything BACK ON, the last thing being the “MMS”, then I sent the message. Within a couple seconds I had a text message with #1 on it and I was HAPPY AS ****!
I am not allowing myself to get too elated as I have had iPhones from the VERY beginning of their existence and YES, the technology gets worse and worse which is a mind bender.
If anything changes I’ll let you know.
GOOD LUCK🌱❤️✌🏻
