iMessage problems after ios 8 update

After ios 8 update many people in my company including me have had many issues with imessage - we use a group thread & after update iOS fails every imessage or only sends while on wifi. To fix the issue with imessage not working go to settings>Messages>turn off iMessage. Go back to settings & make sure you are logged in to iCloud. Settings>iCloud (click the banner at the top) enter your Apple ID password. Go back and turn iMessage back on. You may also have to delete threads and allow them to re appear. Hope this helps!

iPhone 5s, iOS 8

i have another issue: In every app that uses text, when I'm writing something and want to delete only one letter, it deletes the whole word! That happens if I just quickly push the "backspace button"! Can anyone help? It is so annoying!

Thank you in advance

Long press your screen until a bubble appears. With your finger still pressed on the screen, move that bubble to the letter you want to remove then hit your delete or backspace button to delete the letter or letters.

Probably you didn't understood what I said!

The deleting process is too quick! It deletes the whole word

and not letter by letter! That is the issue!

I know my ABCs!

Fix for me.. (assuming imessage is turned on in settings etc..)

find all green "messages" in the message history that should be sent as iMessages
delete them one by one by holding you finger on the bubble and delete.
- check after deleting each one if you can send an iMessage again (step 2)
when you look at the message entry area it should read iMessage rather than Message
(and once you type something the Send should be Blue rather than Green)..
- if not keep deleting old green messages to contacts that you normally send iMessages (back to step 1)

This seems to have worked for me! Fingers crossed.
