What is causing this text message glitch

I type words out and get this

User uploaded file


The message is supposed to read "you still awake?" but the message gets cut off, this has happened with several messages for a while now. Now the messages are only cut off from my end, the people receiving them can see exactly what I typed. Does anyone know what is causing this?

Hello BubblesGreen,

Thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities! From what I gather, you send text messages, but part of the text does not appear on screen when sent. However, this does not affect the message itself- the recipient is able to see the entire composition. Based on that info and the screenshot provided, this may be related to the font size currently used in your iPhone. I'd like to test this theory by following the steps as outlined in this article:

Change the font size on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch

Change the font size

  1. In iOS 8, go to Settings > Display and Brightness > Text Size.
    In iOS 7, go to Settings > General > Text Size.
  2. Drag the slider to make the font bigger or smaller.

You'll see this font size in apps that support Dynamic Type for your version of iOS.

Let's go ahead and make the text smaller temporarily. After completing this step, go back into Messages and compose another message. Due to the smaller font and the size of your iPhone's display, more (or all) of said text should be visible on screen.

Let us know your results, and best of luck!
