iMessage froze after sending too many photos

I am exchanging photos with my girlfriend after a recent trip we had through iMessage. Overall, I have sent around 200 photos continuously. Now, whenever I open our conversation, the screen just freezes and then crashes after about a minute of waiting.

iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 17

No longer able to send/open/load/receive pictures/videos/memoji messages Hello! I have this problem for about 2 or 3 weeks now. I can’t open pictures on iMessage (sent to me) and also I’m not able to send photos. I either get a “not received” notification with an exclamation mark or when it menages to send it, the person I text receives a .jpeg file which can not be open… and vice versa. I haven’t changed anything in the iMessage settings. It has nothing to do with my network connection because I tried using different network and still had this problem. Find attached pictures. Hope you can be helpful. Thanks in advance!

Messages freezing up after 3 to 4 texts of pictures to different people This freezing up started about 4 to 5 weeks ago or so, after one of the updates. Previously it would send pictures to group after group without ever freezing. When sending pictures to different groups now, the message app freezes up. If I wait a couple minutes it will allow messages to send pictures to 1 sometimes 2 groups and then freezes up again. Looking to see if there is some way to fix this. Thank you

iMessage won’t send files on my iPhone 16 Pro iMessage won’t send files Lately I have a problem with iMessage. It won’t send attachments (voice messages, pictures, videos etc) no matter the connection. Restarting the iPhone solves the problem temporarily but it returns again after a while. I have tried disabling and re enabling iMessage, deleting and reinstalling the Messages app etc. This happens both on cellular and WiFi, even on very good connections (600mbps down, 150mbps up etc). I have spoken with Apple Support yesterday and we have scheduled a call for tomorrow to recreate the problem and collect diagnostics. I have a few friends that this does happen to them even for more than a year now. For me this started happening for about a week. I have 500GB+ of free space and 1TB+ of iCloud storage space. Does this happen on anyone else? iPhone 16 Pro, iOS 18.4.1 [Re-Titled by Moderator]
