Latest iPhone 5/iOS 6 bug: iMessages Disappearing

Really, could the iPhone 5 and iOS 6 be ANY BUGGIER?  Perhaps what I'm reading about quality control at apple on the decline are true?
Today's issue: iMessages seem to be disappearing. I sent an iMessage, and just like that, the whole thread of texts are gone.  I reboot the phone and nothing.  The whole exchange is gone.
Anyone else experiencing this?  NOT happy.

I just experienced this same problem on iOS6 but with the 4s. I was in mid text conversation with a friend that has a year's worth of text exchange and as I hit send, I saw the entire thread disappear. It now starts with that message I had just sent. I've restarted the phone and done soft restores several times to no avail. This happened yesterday and the imessage still hasn't come back yet. I NEED THAT THREAD BACK. Apple, please fix this asap.

  • IPhone 5, iOS 7. iMessage bug?

    thank you in advance. c:

    I have same issue on iPhone 4S and iphone 5. Have rebooted each time iMessage stops sending messages.
    Hopefully a fix comes soon. I'm turning off iMessage for now.

  • IPhone 6 iOS 8 iMessage not working

    I just purchased a brand new iPhone today and I set up my iCloud and iMessage but when I try to send a message, the text bubble still turns up green. I have a secure Wifi contecttion and I am messaging with someone who has their iMessaging turned on as well. I tried to reset the network, reset all settings, turn iMessage on and off, restart the phone. Nothing is working. It says that iMessage is turned on but the text bubbles are still green.

    All I can say is that ATT is working but my wife and I did get a few green messages first.  Try this thread and see if it helps.  Green messages
    Good luck.

  • IPhone 5S iOS 7: iMessage / SMS Haptic Feedback

    Two issues here:
    How can I stop my iPhone from notifying me twice over about a text (not the double vibrate from a text, but a double vibrate then another one about two minutes later even though a new text has not come in)?
    How can I stop my iPhone from telling me (both visually and with haptic feedback) that an iMessage failed to send despite successfully and automatically sending as a text? Tell me that after all options are exhausted and it fails, not when it fails in iMessage then succeeds in SMS.
    Thanks...

  • My iPhone 5 with latest version of iOS 6 won't receive some text messages (not iMessages)

    My IPhone 5 with latest version of ios 6 won't receive some text messages. All text messages not received are from different people on the same carrier (not mine). Some messages come through if they repeatedly send them. I have tried resetting network settings. This fixes the issue for 10 minutes or so before I don't receive the messages again. I dont have iMessage on and I've tried a restore.

    Hi,
    I had the same issue.
    After resetting the network settings everything works fine again.
    YouTube App and the videos you posted above didn't play.
    After resetting, they are playable.
    Try it out.
    Best regards,
    Tolga

  • Personal Hotspot menu disappeared after I updated my iPhone to iOS 4.3.3

    Personal Hotspot menu disappeared after I updated my iPhone to iOS 4.3.3
    My carrier provides tethering service and I used it often so I don't think this is from network problem.
    What I remember is that after I upgrade my iPhone to iOS 4.3.3 I once activated personal hotspot function and it was hanged.
    So I reboot my iPhone and the menu disappeared. Is this another bug that is from iOS 4.3.3??

    What is the exact wording of the error message you received?
    Has your iPhone been jailbroken or modified to work with other
    than the original wireless provider?
    Not wise to post IMEI or ICCID in the clear, FYI. I have asked
    the hosts to edit that info in your post.

  • I have an iphone 4 (ios 4.3.1). I want to update to the latest ios, but it wouldn't load onto my iphone, I got error message code 3014. I tried again and it said I would lose all the contents on my iphone if I continued - help!

    I have an iPhone 4 (IOS 4.3.1) and it was synced and backed up today.
    I wanted to upgrade to the latest ios on iTunes (today's date is 3rd Jan 2013), it seemed to download ok (it took about 30 minutes or so), but when it tried to update onto the iPhone (I think this was what it was doing!) I got an error message that had code 3014 in it. Nowhere on Apple's website can I find a way to resolve this error code.
    I then thought I would just try again from the beginning, but I then got an error message saying that if I continued I would lose all the contents on my iPhone so I cancelled it as I don't want to lose everything on my phone.
    Can anyone help me as I am not very good at technical things and I really want to upgrade the ios on my iPhone without losing all the data I have on there already. An idiots guide would be great.
    Thanks.

    Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443.
    Update to the latest version of iTunes.
    Verify the computer's date and time are accurate.
    Check that your security or firewall software is not interfering with ports 80 or 443, or with the server gs.apple.com.
    Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
    An entry in your hosts file may be redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
    Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you are using a proxy, try without using one.
    Test restoring while connected to a known-good network.

  • I recently updated my iPhone to IOS 8 and it said I need the latest version of iTunes to sync and back up however my computer won't allow it what do I do !??  Anything helps!!!

    I recently updated my iPhone to IOS 8 and it said I need the latest version of iTunes to sync and back up however my computer won't allow it what do I do !??  Anything helps!!!

    If it's in recovery mode, the data is already gone. Why did you never back up your important data?

  • I'm receiving some personnal SMS (through iOS 5 imessage) on an old iphone I've already sold. How to avoid that?

    Hi,
    I used to have an iPhone 3GS, which I recently upgraded to iOS 5 and sold. This device doesn't have any of my personnal information inside anymore (several resets and reinstall iOS5 from an blank iTunes on a seperate computer) and doesn't have my chip inside anymore.
    I am using a new smartphone (not Apple) now and when I text friends who have iPhone (with iOS 5 and iMessage), I receive some of the personnal responses on the old iPhone. It seems those messages are sent through iMessage...
    How to avoid that? I sold this iPhone and I don't want the buyer to receive my personnal message + I don't want to miss them on my new phone!
    Thanks for the help.
    Franck.

    I would suggest you read the user guide.  There IS no Facetime App for the iPhone.

  • I updated to iOS 8 on iPhone 5s and now iMessage will not verify my email. It has said "Verifyng" since yesterday, but has not sent a verification email. I checked my iCloud settings for that email address and it shows "pending".

        I updated to iOS 8 on iPhone 5s and now iMessage will not verify my email address to use to send/ receive messages. It has said "Verifyng" beside it in settings since yesterday, but has not sent a verification email. I have also tried Adding it as a new email address several times, but get the same outcome.  I can still send/ receive texts from my phone number, just not from the email address.
         In my iCloud settings under Contact Information for that email address and it shows "pending".  When I select "Resend Verification Email" I get "Cannot Connect to iCloud".

  • I have my daughters Ipod, my iphone, my wife's Iphone and Ipad on the one Apple ID.  Since the latest update we are receiving Imessages from our daughter's Ipod with my wife's caller ID on the one message strand.  Can I fix this problem?

    I have my daughters Ipod, my iphone, my wife's Iphone and Ipad on the one Apple ID.  Since the latest update we are receiving Imessages from our daughter's Ipod with my wife's caller ID on the one message strand. 
    Is it possible to differentiate between all the devices?Can I fix this problem?

    I recommend that you
    Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
      Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
    Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
    Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
    Settings>FaceTime
    and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.
    Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.
