Apple does not support downgrading iOS, it cannot be done. There are several reported fixes for this. I experienced it once on my 5s and all I did was force quite Messages and I did not see it again. Some report turning Show Subject on and off, or Show characters on off has fixed it. There are also reports of a force restart. Others have reported that going to another iMessage to a different recipient have fixed.
