Why is my iMessage time not synced with my phone time?
The picture above shows that my iMessage time is slightly ahead of my phone time (at 10:47pm I should not be able to take a screenshot of a message I sent at 10:48pm).
It is sort of like when your microwave clock is slightly slower than your stove clock. They both start at 1:00 but a few months later your stove says 2:46 and your microwave says 2:44 even though you haven’t adjusted either.
This causes my text messages to be out of order in most conversations.
- I have a 128g iPhone 7
-This is only a problem with iPhone users. It doesn’t happen when I text someone on an android phone.
-This has been happening since I bought this phone on December 23, 2017
- I have the current IOS update (11.2.6) and this has been a problem on all IOS versions I’ve had on this phone
I have tried the following:
- manually adjusting the time
- setting the time to automatic
- restarting my phone
- resetting my phone
- wiping my phone completely back to the “Hola!” screen
- contacting Apple support by phone
- turning off iMessage and turning it back on
I will go to an Apple store but we don’t have one nearby. The closest store is a 4.5 hour drive away. It seems like it must be a software issue so I can’t imagine the people at the store will be able to fix it anyway.
Any suggestions?
