IPhone 5, iOS7 anyone else have these bugs?

Question

I know other people are having issues with iMessage, my phone is turning iMessage off with out my consent. The weird thing is though; I’m not receiving text messages from half my contacts that use iMessage to send me text. They think I’ve been ignoring them for days, I have miss 6 days’ worth of communication from people. Shouldn’t I receive the text but as a SMS message from them? From their side the iMessage goes through.
When “scrolling back” to a position in my text, to edit a word, the magnifying glass appears and then should help place the cursor to the position I need. Well it’s moving the cursor through the text, but after a second or 2 the magnifying glass freezes, and the text messaging app doesn’t respond for 5 - 10 seconds.
Funny bug, but not a REAL problem, play a video or go to a picture in your album, try to zoom out, keep your fingers on the screen and rotate the image or video, it does some weird things, I’m assuming they wanted to allow you to zoom out to close the image but it doesn’t work so well in practice.

Answer 1

I was having the same issue with iPhone 5 and iOS 7.0.4  (using the magnifying glass freezes the phone for a few seconds, buy only inside the iMessage app), and I just found the solution!
There is no need to reset the phone or install updates (in fact, the issue is not related to a specific iOS version).
First of all, you can replicate the issue knowing that:
1. When composing a text in iMessage, if you use the magnifying glass, you will see these options: Select, Select All, Paste
2. As you may know, you can copy a picture or a video in the "Photos" gallery and paste directly in iMessage to send it as SMS.
3. When you copy something, iOS keeps it in memory, even if you did it days ago
So, what happened is simple (in my case, but I think yours too). Two weeks ago, I copied one of my videos in the Photo gallery (for mistake) and I totally forgot about it. Then, every time I used the magnifying glass in iMessage, the "Paste" option was getting ready to past the video in it (freezing the screen for a few seconds, probably because it was a huge file).
MY SOLUTION: write something in iMessage, like "hello", use the magnifying glass, press "Select All" and then "Copy". Done! You just replaced any huge file/image/video that you had in memory with the text "hello", and now your magnifying glass will work like a charm!
Hope this help!
