Im trying to open my messages app and its showing an empty white screen. Nothing is showing up ( eg. compose, edit, or my past messages...) only the top time and battery status'. Its been two weeks!
iPhone 5s, iOS 7.1
What troubleshooting have you tried?
when in doubt maybe restart youro settings? IDK. Sorry. good luck
Ive restarted the phone many times..
The next troubleshooting steps from a restart are a reset, then a restore from backup and restore as new. Try the reset first, hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. Try closing the messages app in the multi-task bar before the reset. Double-tap the home button and then after finding the messages app, swipe upwards on the thumbnail of the app to close it. Then tap the home button again. Then do the reset.
isn't restarting the phone and re-setting the settings two different things? I'm asking because I don't know, not because I am being sarcastic. :-)
Restart is powering the phone off and then on. A reset is as I described. The only way to reset settings is to go into Settings>General>Reset. There you can reset network settings, or reset all settings. All of these are different actions.
Thanks guys i got it working again. I just took out the sim and inserted it in again,.. very odd never happened before. But thanks for the help. 🙂
