iMessage freezing when sending pictures

If a picture is selected then iMessaged and it hasn’t sent yet, then try to send more pictures to the same contact or group, my phone freezes and have to close iMessage and wait for first message to send before can send the next. This has happened at least half a dozen times. Also, with the new update my phone will randomly get stuck with the screen half down like it would if you tap the home button, but at times it wasn’t tapped and mostly happens on the lock screen. Have an iPhone 7 and the most recent update. Wish it was possible to undo the update! And sad it didn’t work good on a phone only a year old.

This answer is completely worthless and assumes people are posting this issue who don’t know to do all that. It’s a MAJOR BUG that is true on ANY iOS11 device - my iPad mini, iPad Pro, iPhone 7 and iPhone X ALL have this issue so it can’t be WiFi or something a mere hard close, reboot or reset can fix. It is a MAJOR flaw as you can’t send a picture and then send another without closing iMessage and waiting 30 seconds. This issue has been here since iOS 11 came out. I wonder if Apple iPhone engineers even USE an iPhone or they would easily discover this and other bugs just using the phone like normal. This worked fine in previous iOS versions so iOS 11 BROKE texting pictures, some people do a lot.

Please don’t give lame answers that blame the user - please fix the issue.

Much thanks.

Did all these suggestions nothing has worked, when I first bought this VERY expensive phone this was not a problem. Starting to think Apple does these things on purpose.
