IMESSAGES SAYS SENDING BUT NEVER SENDS

My imessages say sending but never sends. I always have to hard reset my phone or turn it off and on in order to actually be able to send the messages and sometimes the rest of my social apps become unresponsive. Even then after i restart my phone about an hour later it continues to do the same thing. Has anyone ever had this problem or know to fix it??

iPhone 6, iOS 9.3.2

Hello n00bia,


Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. I know it's important to be able to keep in touch with friends and family using iMessage, so I'm happy to provide you with some help to get your messages to actually send again.


To start, check out some of the troubleshooting tips suggested in this article:


If you can‘t send or receive messages on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


If you continue to have issues after going through those preliminary steps, then let's have you sign out of iMessage and back in again:


  1. Open Settings > Messages > Send & Receive
  2. Tap on your Apple ID at the top
  3. Tap Sign out
  4. Restart your iPhone: Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
  5. Open Settings > Messages > Send & Receive
  6. Sign into your Apple ID at the top


This will make refresh your iPhone's connection to iMessage and should get you back on track.


Cheers!
