iOS 17 iMessage Bugs?

I have the iPhone 11 Pro Max 64MGS in Space Gray. I upgraded from iOS 16.6.1 to the new iOS 17 on Monday when it was released to the public. Well now 1 day later there are bugs and glitches! I literally lost 2 years of a group chat with my sisters and I plus 2 years worth of pics and vids here also as well too! Anybody else have this issue with iMessage?! Is there anyway that I can recover 2 years worth of group chats and pics and vids with my sisters here? Any help would be appreciated here! Thank you!

17.2 update did not fix this bug. I still cannot see the 5th line. It is always the fifth line whether horizontal or vertical orientation. Thus, I can change orientation to read the line, but that is a pain. It also pops up if I type on to the sixth line.

My wife and I are having the same texting problems on our iPhones after updating to 17. Dictation, typing, and cursor problems are all now such a hassle, and It is so frustrating!!!


Examples:

-If I have dictation on and want to simply erase one letter, I click the backspace button, and

it erases the entire word!


-If I am at the end of a text and want to move the cursor to the beginning to correct something, it doesn't work! It is major wrangling to get the cursor to the right place.


-Dictation accuracy seems worse. Dictation should be getting better, not worse.


-When dictating, whole words are missed. Not dictated incorrectly, simply missed entirely.


-When I click on a suggested word, a different word sometimes ends up in the text.


-When I dictate someone's name, there is often a comma after their name, though I did not say "comma".


C'mon Apple, get it together and fix this! Texting is an integral part of our lives now, and there are times when I want to throw my phone across the room because I can no longer dictate/type and send a simple text without problems.

I am having a problem making changes or corrections in my text messages before I send them. I have an iPhone XR updated to iOS 17.0.1


–cannot get the cursor to the right place in order to make a correction, have lost an entire text msg when it is almost ready to go, etc. The entire text message experience is balky.


Is anyone else having this problem?

Restore from your backup.

Yep👍. IOS 17 is totally buggy!

This issue with messages and not being able to move the cursor back towards the beginning of a message is outrageous 😤

It has destroyed any wish to have ANY conversation via text!

The biggest issue I have is that APLLE doesn’t seem to know how to instantly respond to their faults😡

Address the matter right away and tell us an update is on the way. I’m dumbfounded how something like this even made it through to the actual release in iOS17🤯


There are numerous other issues as well that need addressing quickly, like CONTACTS!! It’s horrible!!


Apple….. Fix It !!!!

I thought it was just me going through this. All the “bug fix” updates after iOS 17 initially came out hasn’t addressed this issue. The message app can’t even be used or opened until the voice message sends, nor can you turn your phone off in the process unless you ask Siri to restart. Then it works but the message of course doesn’t send. I’m almost positive it’s because it’s trying to transcribe the voice message and struggling to do so. I would like if that could just be turned off or gotten rid of because it’s never even remotely correct anyway.
