IMessage Freezing

Why is my imessage freezing after I updated my iphone 14 to ios 16.7.1? I either have to close the app completely or wait about 30 seconds to use it. I have switched to saving only 30 days and deleted a ton on old texts?

iPhone 14, iOS 16

Hello MaineWorker,


If an app on your iPhone or iPad doesn't work as expected, you can try to resolve the issue by completing the steps here: If an app on your iPhone or iPad stops responding, closes unexpectedly, or won’t open - Apple Support


You may find these steps helpful:

1. Close and reopen the app

2. Restart your device

3. Check for updates

4. Delete the app, then redownload it

You can see more detail about those steps in the article we mentioned above.


If those steps don't resolve the issue we recommend reaching out to Official Apple Support


Thanks.
