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.
Tried the time toggle and it didn’t work!
I have the same issue! Pretty appalling it’s not been fixed yet... been happening since early December!!! Can we have a response please Apple!
Same issue.
Yes, Apple! This thread and the dozens of others are nearly a month old now.
Any chance of a fix.
Thanks for the effort but this did not work for me. Still receiving messages out of chronological order in iMessage.
Same here, although it seems to only be happening on my iPad (current iOS). So far I’ve only noticed this in one conversation.
Same issue...toggling the date/time didn't work...
Same issue for a last few weeks
Count me in as well... Same symptoms... recent problem... iOS update...yada yada yada
I have done a hard reset many times and it always comes back.
Sorry to hear that how frustrating as it worked for me
Same issue here. Very annoying.
Same issue here.. It's getting annoying to the point I want my Android back.
Sorry but typical Apple bs. I am so sick of their crap.
I think that the clocks get out of sync between devices. Could it be due to the slowing of the clock on devices to preserve performance and battery life?
if it helps I am on tmobile.
I’m having the same issue on iPhone 7
iMessage - messages arriving in wrong order
