iMessage freezing when sending pictures

To start off with they tried to feed me that line too. I gave them a screen recording and they took files from my phone. I just got a email from Apple they know they have a problem but don’t know when they’ll have a fix. I told them that we all spend our hard earned money on there phones. It’s there job to take care of our phones once we buy from them.

I noticed that it’s only with the messages app. If you try to send a picture or screenshot through another app, WhatsApp, Snapchat, etc.. it works perfectly. Now, Apple has denied that there is anything wrong with their message app.

I love you response! So true. Telling us to force close and app or restart the phone is highly insulting. It’s like if your tv doesn’t work, check to make sure it’s plugged in 😂 Thanks for the worthless advice Apple!

Are you talking to me about my suggestion or apples basic instructions?

This so far has worked for me. The resetting network settings while imessage is off, twice in a row, Then turning imessage back oni after 2nd reboot.

apple’s tech support in general, over web/email/phone. When you finally get a hold of someone, you have to spend 35 minutes going over their basic force quit/Restart this even when I’ve made it apparent I’m not clueless and have obviously gone through the basic steps. It’s infuriating.

Apple has really done it to us this time this has been going since October 2017 I get the same response every time I get a email from them. I’m about to pay my phone out and go to Samsung note 8. I’ve had it with Apple. I’ve been with them since iPhone 3. Enough is enough.

This bug isn’t limited to iMessage. It affects every app I’ve tried to share images and links from as well and seems to be an issue with iOS 11+ so far.

The most frustrating part is trying to share from the stock photos app. When it stalls and I have to force the app to quit. The problem seems to be getting worse and restarts aren’t as effective at curtailing the problem as they used to be.

I really hope Apple finally fixes this one in the next update. Since this has been happening since iOS 11, I’m surprised it hasn’t been fixed yet. Well, this and the keyboard-right whiteout bug when changing from portrait to landscape In the iPad.

Something else I noticed after going to IOS 11. iMESSAGES are received out of order! Have you guys noticed this? Say I send an imessage, sometimes when some replies fast, their message comes in ABOVE my message! You guys see that too? It's usually when you are texting someone with fast replies, but it drives me nuts!

Has anyone been able to fix this with the suggestions above???

Yes several of my family friends coworkers are having the same issue on multiple iPhone platforms. They laughed at me and told me to bite the bullet, upgrade my iPhone.

NOPE. NO APPLEWATCH EITHER.

DONE WITH APPLE INATTENTION TO TESTING AND QUALITY.

I had to Google many 3rd party sites to find resolution to these issues. Apple still ignores.

I have the exact same issue with my iPhone 7. Delayed insertion after a selecting a photo then the messaging icon. This has been an issue since ios11 was released. Folks at the Apple store have noted it too but have no idea why it’s happening.

I have the same problem with photos on the 6s after an update. Every apple update screws up more things that weren’t broken on the phone. I will never buy another apple phone— over rated, overpriced garbage

I am having the same problem ever since updating to iOS 11. I have an iPhone 7 Plus my previous iPhone which was a 6+ did not have this problem. My iPhone 6 Plus cannot listen to voicemails cause every time I would play them they would shut off about three seconds in and this would happen over and over again. It seems every time I get a new iPhone I get rid of one problem to inherit another. I’ve had the iPhone since the edge which was the original iPhone and this will be my last iPhone I will now go to a Samsung.

My wife's phone was a iphone 5s, hand a problem with the home button and the battery. I found a refurbished iphone 7 for half the price of a new one. It was in very good condition as far as you could see, but every time she tried to send a picture the darn thing would freeze and get hot. So, I sent it back for a refund, and bought a brand new one from Best Buy. Same problem! If it is a defect in the product then why is it happening to more than one version of the phone? I don't think it is a defect, I believe it is their operating system that has a bug. I really wish they would fix it. I was really considering making my next phone an iphone. Now I am having second thoughts. I have enough problems with the service on the one I am currently using without having trouble with the phone locking up and getting hot. You folks at Apple need to be on this like yesterday! :-(

Same Every time I go to send a picture within the Messenger app it freezes up and takes forever to send and won’t let me type anything on any of my messages on any of the contacts I have to either restart my phone or start a brand new SMS or MMS message and type the contact name on top and everything it’s so bogus like I want to send like temperatures in a row but no cant do that unless u wanna b on ya phone all day😡

I am having the same issue with both of my iPhone 7 pluses. It starting with an iOS update. It seems there are unresolved issues with every update. When I switched to an iPhone I was warned if it’s working never do an update. Unfortunately I didn’t listen. I will say this after having been an Android user. Never had issues with the device not working after a software update. I like my iPhone but I don’t know if I would ever buy another one.
