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.
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
Only for the old messages. For the new ones it's happening again 😟
I installed this security update today and so far it appears to have fixed the issue.
Has anyone else seen this issue resolved with the latest update of 11.2.2 ?
Yes, I posted this morning that it seems to be resolved for me.
Didn’t work for me - or at least only temporarily. Messages are still coming in out of order with iOS 11.2.2 for me.
Stop sending messages to clairvoyant recipients. 😁
Resolved it for me too on multiple devices (iPhones and iPads) immediately. None of the other suggested solutions worked.
Ok, I take back that it worked. The 11.2.2 worked for 2 days and my messages are back to out of order AGAIN!
iMessage - messages arriving in wrong order
