Message app hands on IPhone 6+

Several times a week, my message app hangs. I have an 6+. I can't view new messages or send any - the screen is frozen. I can exit the app,but sometimes it will cause other problems with other apps - notably the health app. The only way to fix it seems to be rebooting the phone. I have heard that there may be others with the same problem. Is there a fix, maybe in a future update? I am running iOS 8.2.

Close out of the app, double tap the home screen and completely close out of the app.
Then do a reset, no data loss.  hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot bak up.

    How can you change the bubble color in the message app on the iphone 5?

    If you are having trouble reading your texts you can increase the font size until it becomes clear. Put in a feature request for the colour change though, it won't happen unless people ask for it.

  • Messages app crashes on iPhone 6 plus when trying to send a picture from my library

    As soon as I select the camera icon to send a picture in Messages it crashes on my iPhone 6 plus running IOS 8.0.2. It happens every single time. I have restarted the phone several times. I can go to my photo library, choose a photo and send it as a message and that works. I checked the diagnostic information but can't decipher it. Any ideas?

    I had the VERY same problem with a iPhone 6 Plus running iOS 8.0.2. I did a hard reset and a full restore to factory settings and then a restore from a back up- nothing worked. I then read Cal4one's post on turning off the read text function (which I had just turned on days before to try out) and ta-da! all is well! I can now use Messages and when I go to attach a picture, the Photo library comes up quickly (it was not before the chance) and the Message app no longer crashes. Just to be safe, I turned off all reading functions in the Accessibility (settings/general/accessibility/speech) settings.

  • Why doesn't the messages app sync with iphone

    ive recently upgraded to montain lion and i cant seem to get the messages app to sync with my iphone. if i use the messages app on my macbook i cant continue the conversation my iphone. what am i doing wrong?

    Hi,
    You can also set the iPhone number by adding the Apple ID to the iPhone.
    This links the iPhone Number to the Apple ID.
    Soon afterwards a pop up messages will appear on the Mac saying the iPhone is using it's Number and the Apple ID (if it has not appeared in five minuted restart Messages)
    Accepting add the phone number to Messages as a "Send From" and Receive option.
    On both the iPhone and the Mac version of Messages you can then chose the "Send From " ID or iPhone number.

  • Why does my messages app on the iphone put 6/7 random contacts who I haven't messaged at the top of the list of people to message?

    In my messages app, let's say I sent a text to my friend 'John'. By right, his name and text should appear at the top of the list of messages, right? But instead, my phone decides to put let's say 'Mary', 'Sophie' 'Luke', 'Paul', 'dan' and 'Michelle' all on the top of this list instead. All the messages to/from them are and have been empty/deleted with weeks and i haven't contacted them in weeks either. But my phone still puts them at the top of the list, and the time stamp usually state the current time on my clock at that time. So Even though I texted john seconds ago, these people all remain above his name in my messages, why is this does anyone know?

  • How to see iPhone contacts (synced from Google) in Messages app on Mac

    I use Google contacts as my master contacts
    My iPhone 7 (iOS 7) Contacts are synched with Google Contacts.
    The Messages app in the iPhone shows the names of the people I'm messaging with - however
    The Messages app in my iMac (Mavericks) does not show the names of the people I'm messaging with -- it shows just their phone number
    How can I configure my iMac so that my Messages app shows the names of the people i'm messaging with?
    From what i can tell, I need to figure out a way to sync my iMac Contacts app with the Contacts app on my iPhone via iCloud.
    When I configure iCloud to sync contacts between the iPhone and the iMac, the synchronization is one-way only.  Any contacts in my iMac show up in my iPhone.  But all my other contacts in iPhone (synched from Google Contacts) do not show up in the iMac.
    How can I synch ALL my iPhone Contacts to my iMac?  (including the ones that are in the iPhone because they were synched from Google Contacts).
    Thank you.

    Sync the contacts on your Mac with Google Contacts as well... There is no need to involve iCloud.
    Perhaps you should take a look at Google's help pages.

  • Using Verizon Messages app on iPad mini: Accessing Verizon contact list

    I am a dumbphone Verizon user. I have an extensive contact list in my phone. I use the Verizon Backup Assistant to make sure I don't lose it. I frequently use the browser version of Verizon Messages as some of the smartphones send me text messages containing graphics I cannot see on the dumbphone. This has been working great for me. My dumbphone Contacts pull up nicely. I assume this is pulling from the Backup Assistant database (Verizon Cloud?).
    Enter the tablet. I now have an iPad mini. I've installed the Verizon Messages app. The Integrated Messaging is working as expected and I can access messages from all three devices (dumbphone, tablet, PC). However, with the iPad app I am unable to see my Contacts. Is there some form of syncing that I need to initiate between Verizon Messages on the iPad and Verizon Backup Assistant? Does anyone have tips in this area?
    I do not sync any contacts to the iPad Contacts. I have so many different contact lists (Gmail, three personal email accounts,  two work email accounts, dumbphone contacts, ...) that I just wouldn't know where to begin. Plus I like having them segregated because there are SO many different people in these lists. I just want to access my dumbphone contacts with the iPad Verizon Messages app.
    Input appreciated. Thank you.

        StFuz,
    Lets get those text tones customized to just how you want them! It's going to be easy to get them just how you want them. Please open your Phone app, then select a contact from your All Contacts list. Tap Edit at the top right corner, then scroll down to customize the Text Tone. I apologize, but this is available in the native Message app for the iPhone only. Verizon Messages does not support this feature in iPhones at this time.

  • Is there any way to turn off the split-screen in the messaging app?

    I'd like to be able to write SMS in full screen just like it's possible to write emails in full screen: without the sidebar! But I can't find a way to deactivate the sidebar in the messaging app on my iPhone 6 plus. And no, I'm not in the zoomed in view.
    Thanks for your help!

    If you go into Settings> Display & Brightness> View and change it to Zoomed, it won't show the sidebar. I don't know of any way to turn it off without going into Zoomed
