Newly received iPhone messages show above sent messages

This is happening to me as well. I am also having issues with Facebook or any other password protected webpage making me sign in every single time instead of remembering my info. I’m sick of the updates that make my phone not work as well as before. I wish we could decline some updates!!

I was having this exact same issue! Text responses showing above my texts and my response showing up in the "Messages" menu when I had just received a text back. Possible solution:

Well, I'm not sure if this will work for others but I turned my phone off, kept it off for about a minute, then turned it back on and (for now) the issue seems to be resolved!

That is what my friend did and hours later the issue came back, but they just turned if off and on. Probably not enough time for it to properly reset. If the issue never comes back for you then cheers.

I have been experiencing this exact same problem for a few weeks now. The messages I receive will show up above the messages I send. It’s very frustrating and confusing! My phone has also become EXTREMELY SLOW! I guarantee these problems are a result of the most resent update Apple sent out to our phones. This is ridiculous and needs to be fixed immediately! My time zone and all other settings are (and have been) correct. It’s not us, Apple! It’s you. Fix this issue ASAP, please! I seriously cannot handle it anymore.

I am still having the issue with my brand new iPhone 6s (replaced a month ago under warranty) I did manage to improve the issue by doing a hard reset then going into Settings — Messages — and then toggling the iMessage button on and off. That said, with some other iPhone users, the messages will still come through out of sequence ((it’s only slightly less maddening). Apple, please.

I’m having the same problem and have been for several days. This is not a Date & Time issue. I’ve noticed that this is only happening to text messages from people that I know also have iPhones. Could it be that they haven’t updated their phones and that’s causing an issue?

My friends and I are all having this problem also 😩! And even further we have group message together and now it created another one and some of us get Answers on one and then some on another won..it is driving us crazy!!! 😡 Seems from what I read only people not having this problem are people with the iPhone X.😳

I am having this problem as well on my iPhone 6 Plus. My wife is having the same problem on her iPhone 7. My wife's friend is having the same problem on her iPhone. It is not a date and time issue. It is a bug that needs to be addressed. We need a fix now, please.

Mine has also been doing this. It's very frustrating. I've noticed it in both my iPhone messages, but also on the messages app on my mac (running ios 11.2.1 and High Sierra, respectively). It's very annoying and is causing me to miss messages.

So, as I am reading through this chain, I do not see any answers from Apple? I followed the last advise from a user. We will see what happens. I think this is very poor customer service to not give any answers besides dump your entire phone and start over! I had to do that with my apple watch this weekend as it was stuck on the apple! What's happening to this company! I will upgrade, but not to another apple product after these antics. Steve Jobs must be rollong over in his grave seeing this. Shame on you Apple!

Probably best to only add constructive comments and criticisms here, and not bury the useful ones. If anyone tries the fix I posted on page 4 and it doesn't work please let us know. If it does work mark the post as helpful so that it gets more visibility.

Thanks.

So... we need to check settings (which mine were fine) that supposedly somehow got accidentally changed?

How does that even make sense? Seeing as almost 1000 people happened to search the same wording and happened upon this thread and are having the same problem. I’m sure not everyone clicked the ‘me too’ button at the beginning.

Apple stop pushing off responsibility for things and just start owning it which seems to be your modus operandi.

Hi. Did you ever get a satisfactory solution to this issue? It is happening on my iPhone 7, girlfriends 6, daughters 5 my iPad Pro and my daughters iPad. Restoring iPhone to factory settings is clearly not the solution.

This worked for me. I tried the "turn off date/time auto then back on" method and it didn't work. When I saw your post with the extra step: "2. At this point I changed the time to one minute early" it worked! That may be an important step people are missing.
