Crash

StudyAAA on

United States

Bought my iphone 3 weeks ago. App crashed. Turned off phone four times. Didn’t fix it. Can’t open in settings.

Glitch/Bug maybe?

ButtLickerHoochieCooch on

United States

Here lately my imessaging isn’t saving my messages from earlier in the day to September 2024. Like, I went to look back at what I texted my husband earlier today and my messages were gone all the up until September of this year…this didn’t happen before I updated. I have deleted the unnecessary items in the storage, and my messages are set to “keep forever.” I would like this to be corrected. I could understand it not necessarily saving messages from years or months and months ago but messages from today? A week ago? Last month? Ridiculous. Other than that, it’s a fine app. I’d have given it 5 stars if this issue wasn’t happening :/

It’s unfortunate Apple is making it harder and harder to access our own information. We should be able to access and print our own text message or export conversations as pdfs. It helps victims of text bullying and abuse. Blocking it only protects the perpetrators.

Because you know why I don’t have any friends I hate it so much you should delete it now !

Forever It Is Not

MultipleFrustrations on

United States

My Message setting is keep forever. For a number of months, messages I did not delete were flagged to be deleted. Why this is happening to me and others Apple support is supposedly looking for a bug fix. Before when I discovered this was happening, I could undo the delete, a minor inconvenience. All previous messages with the person or persons I sent them to or received were intact. Now that is not the case. The notice says that # messages were deleted. The reality is that ALL messages except those # wind up deleted. Totally irresponsible for this to happen without an immediate and urgent response from Apple.

My review

Good overall

I don’t know what’s going on now.

HNICA on

United States

It’s not opening and letting me text

Suddenly very very slow

Screw the nickname ok on

United States

I am unable to use this app because it does not work like it should. It’s very slow and typing is very delayed. Even switching from one contact to another is very slow and delayed. I will try uninstalling it and reinstall again and see if it works.

Awful junk stopping

chashot on

United States

I’ve tried for a month to stop several spam “group” texts from a 404 area code (I don’t know anyone from there), but after a dozen+ marking as junk, they continue to come. Ugh.
