Q: messages not opening or sometimes taking too long to open
Hello Sir
Thanks for the reply . I Have recently received a replacement iPhone 6 and restored it from my previous iPhone 5 64 gb,which had a similar issue of taking a long time to open the messages and some times would not open at all if I would compose a message it would show it as my first text message . My message count at the moment on this phone should be around 3-4000 messages as I did not clear it before as I figured I had enough space , so far I have tried to delete each message individually by scrolling right to left and the number reduces at first but than goes right back to 657messages on the message icon . I have also tried using the edit and selecting around 800 messages to delete hoping the 657 message as well as some older messages would be deleted and the problem would be solved but it shows it deleted and then comes right back a few seconds later , and with regards to the opening of the messages icon to either access my messages or compose a new message it sometimes open within a few seconds and sometimes does not open at all for a while ,I hope you can understand the issue now ,I apologize for the bad choice or structure of my question as I am not very technical . Can anyone help with this ? also I was wondering if I could backup to icloud and then not restore messages only onto my iPhone 6 is that possible as a last resort this would mean losing all my conversations ie messages gone and start afresh worst case ?
iPhone 6, iOS 9.3.2, 128gb,messages stalls
