Missing messages

The Real Angry Beaver on

United States

I have not been receiving mms messages from both iPhone and Android users. Everything I’ve done so far from Apple support has worked for a few days but then it stops receiving messages again. Totally fed up. Thinking my switch to apple from android was a mistake…

If I could uninstall it, I would

I wish I could uninstall it on

United States

It can no longer send or receive sms on my wifi ipad unless I have an iphone. It used to work, because I have sms messages that I sent and received in the past. But I have never had an iphone and neither have most of the recipients. Apple tech support can’t explain why it quit working, and they really don’t even attempt to figure out what happened.

Great app but some suggestions

❁𝚖𝚊𝚒_𝚞𝚣𝚞𝚖𝚊𝚔𝚒❁ on

United States

The app is great compared any other texting app like messenger kids but one tiny complaint I have is that the max amount of people in a group chat is 32. Could you change this so then it could be like 100. Thank you Edit: Ok so what I said above is true but this app has so many glitches and they don’t even fix it like it says I left a group chat but I didn’t and it also still allows me to see all the group chat messages but doesn’t allow me to type and it’s not getting fixed so I rate it at 3 stars now and now any photo I send it says that it was not delivered.

Let us permanently delete group chats

Snammmmmmmm on

United States

I wasn’t informed or asked by some random person but I was put into a group chat. I can’t delete it permanently because every single time I do, once somebody talks, it comes back. This plus many other group chats I have been added to without my permission don’t go away until everybody deletes the chat. I was put in a group chat of 14 people, by the way. I don’t know over half the people in it so I can’t tell them to delete the chat. I am also on an IPhone 14. Please let us delete the group chat or leave the chat.

New Feature Suggestion

BBlanton623 on

United States

I’m still new to the iPhone world, and this app seems to have lots of great features, but one feature I GREATLY miss is the ability to schedule future messages to send at a later time. As someone whose ADHD can get the best of them, and can be forgetful and scattered, sometimes I think of things I need to ask or remind someone, but that moment may not be a good time to send a text. If this feature was added, I feel this app would be pretty much perfect.

!!!!

peppermintpinkyellowblue on

United States

I love the Messages app, but I think that we should have a feature on settings where we can turn on where blocked contacts can actually contact us but them thinking that they are blocked so if I make sense, you can block a person where they no longer contact you but for those in general who want to see if they actually reached out they can just turn something on on Settings where it lets them where blocked messages come through. I think that this feature could be really useful just in case people make up their mind or just for those who are really curious or if it’s just all fun and games to see how a person reacts in my opinion LOL

Messages Update/Fix Request

Mistayu on

United States

Where do I begin? Why can’t an up to date Message app be able to remove from unwanted group texts? And why can’t an up to date Message app maintain the icons for contacts? It goes to default every few days or so. That’s sounding like a glitch. Can you fix this or no?
