iphone messages only shows first letter of text

When user receives or sends a text to someone, it only shows the first letter of the text message. After about a day or so, the message fully loads and they are able to see everything. When selecting copy text, all the information shows up when pasting. Keeps happening randomly since getting new iPhone 15 Pro Max

iPhone 14+ text messages won't appear I recently switched from Samsung 11+ to iPhone 14+. Some texts but not all appear and when I open them all I see is the spinning wheel of death. What is causing this? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Messages on iPhone 14 Pro Max working inconsistently with other iPhones I discovered this issue is nothing new finding a post from April 2020 on the same subject. Messages to only some recipients are green rather than blue yet iMessage is turned on at both ends. We just received our new phones Monday and everything worked properly up until Tuesday when this began. When looking at Messages on my desktop Mac I see no text showing beyond Tuesday, again, with only certain devices whereas (e.g. my wife and sister) others came through on both my iPhone and Mac Pro! What is the problem here?

iPhone texts don’t show “sent” or “delivered” and remain blank When I’ve sent an iPhone text, it does not say “sent” or “delivered” at the bottom right. It stays blank continuously never updating. What could be the cause of this? Thank you in advance for your replies. [Re-Titled by Moderator] Original Title: Text does not say sent or delivered
