I contacted Apple and received following advice. Just be warned: You will lose connection and password to wifi, so be sure to be ready for that. (Although my phone found the wifi just fine after logged back in).
The order is important.
In settings, Turn off FaceTime. Turn off iMessage. Sign out of iCloud at bottom of name screen in Settings.
Go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network settings.
Once have reset network. Log back into iCloud. Turn on FaceTime. Turn on iMessage.
IF this is too confusing, call Apple tech at 1-800-MYAPPLE. Had to wait awhile, but got great person that walked me through. So far, this has fixed it.
It has not been fixed.
Problem is on both IOS and OSX
I run latest versions. Message order is all messed up on my iPhone, iPad and Macbook Pro.
Me too - waiting impatiently for a reply - that was above my text . . . grrrrrrrr
I simply cannot believe that an issue impacting such a basic functionality as iMessage has not been fixed in half years time.
It is very strange that Apple doesn’t answer. Do you know a way to improve visibility of this issue ?
iOS 11.3 has just been released. Let's hope this fixes it....although I won't hold my breath since I don't see anything about it in the list of bug fixes.
So far so good! no bug since that update today.
Yes, same here, yay :)
Thank you Colee1. It works for me!
Upgrading to iOS 11.3 solved this issue for me, are you on 11.3?
I upgraded to 11.3 and I still see the issue: messages are not in the right order, answers to questions appear before the question in discussions.
I have the same problem. It started around the same time you guys noticed it and has not been fixed yet. Both my wife and I experience the same issue. iPhone 6s + iPhone 6s plus, iOS 11.2.6
There will probably never be a real solution. This is probably there way of replacing torched battery life.
Mine is still doing it. My iOS is up to date
iMessage - messages arriving in wrong order
