Messages app crashing after iOS 26 update Soon after I updated to ios 26, I was not able to access my recently deleted or spam messages. Everytime I went to press them, it would crash the app. Spent an hour talking to two different Apple representatives. Restarted my phone 5 times and reset my phone 3 times, and the issue was still there. Now, I can't even open my messages app without it immediately crashing. I just updated to 26.01 and the issue is still there. I can't even send a text message without it kicking me out. Couldn't even chat in with Apple Support again.

iMessage shut down when trying to delete deleted messages I have deleted some messages on my iPad and when I go to click on “deleted messages” to completely remove them from my iPad, the messaging app shuts down. I have no other issues with the app until I go to delete those messages and it will not let me. This started happening after the iPadOS 17 update. I have restarted the iPad several times.
