Ever Since I updated to iOS 11.2.1 my messages do not show in correct order Ive tried restart manually setting time and 24hr time. Nothing seems to fix this issue driving me nuts constantly missing text because overlooking. They are showing as if they were received before other messages. Common Apple your killing me how can I keep speaking so highly of you when lately you've been letting me down.
iPhone 6s, iOS 11.2.1
I just got off the phone with Advanced Support from Apple and Now have mine working.
If you go into Settings > General > Date & Time > Turn off Set Automatically for about 10-15 seconds and turn it back on.
I did this and have now tested it with a new message thread as well as an exiting message thread with two people that I have had the problem with and it is now working correctly.
I already have read receipt off and so do most of the people I text and we have the problem. The only fix is for Apple to fix it as they broke it with one of their updates. Seems to me like their last update to try to fix it helped a little but it’s still broke. Meaning, since the update I now notice that if the text is longer than a minute old and their is then a response it show properly. Any text that is answered within the same minute the order gets messed up. So many texts are answered right away so their fix is not really working.
Just in time, 11.2.2 showed up yesterday, it is fixed now, iMessage seems really snappy now! 👌 💯
A hard reset on my iphone7 cleared the problem for me.
Have you updated to the latest iOS? The last update mentions a fix for this issue in it
Can confirm the issue exists in the latest version of macOS as well.
My devices are:
iPhone 6s Plus iOS 11.2.1 (Confirmed issue)
Watch 1st Gen
Late 2011 MacBook Pro macOS 10.13.2 (Confirmed issue)
Early 2015 MacBook Air macOS 10.13.2
Rebooting the phone temporarily solves the issue.
I was able to go through AppleCare since I am on the Apple upgrade plan. Based on the conversation I believe there are others that Engineering has as well, I just didn't need to go beyond the first one. If you have AppleCare {bus do it via the chat or call back and they will escalate it for a callback from engineering.
Because the carrier sends the messages to the phone over the network. Then a setting or some other hiccup in the phone displays them improperly. All the carrier does is deliver the message to the phone. How the phone then displays the message in its software is the problem. Its obviously some sort of glitch in the iOS software.
And if you don't believe that, then the simple fact that people who use different carriers are having the same problem. I have AT&T and my wife has Verizon, and we both have experienced this same issue.
Actually I djust d that and it worked but after rebooting or a day, it quit. I had the update 11.12.2 flash on my screen a few days ago so I bit the bullet and did it. It SEEMS to be working ok now. But the other way did not permanently fix it
Have you guys tried any of these. I did and it seemed to fix but I don't know which one did it. If we can narrow it down that would be better?

ANd i want to here back from those that used to have this issues after they got to 11.4 and hear if it's fixed
For now, I found a simplier way and a reboot fixes the problem for a day or so. So keep rebooting to fix it.
Try downloading the Apple Support app. I have had very good luck with Apple using that app and online chat
This is a known bug with iOS 11. Sadly we just have to wait till the next update.
now i can see the replies saying 11.2.2 fixes it, guess i should update 😁
The only workaround I found was to disable iMessage and go back to SMSs. It's really annoying, but not as annoying as having your messages out of order...
Update to 11.3
IMessage/Text Messages Out Of Order
