Phone lagging when using imessage

When ever I am in a group imessage, my phone "freezes and lags". Any idea why? Does this happen to anyone else?
Using iphone 5 on Verizon.
Thanks
SS

Do you have a large number of messages?
     If you can afford to get rid of a few conversations, that can always help.  
Is your phone on the latest software?
     settings>general>about>software version. should be 6.1.4 If not, backup and then update through itunes.
you can also sign out of your imessage and then back in..
good luck:)

  • I only see the phone numbers of my contacts when using iMessage on my MAC, whereas I see the names on my iPhone. Why, and how can I make it so I see the names (and pics) on my MAC?

    Thanks Eric, but that was already turned on. I just now tried turning it off and on again, no change. Actually, I"m more interested in seeing the names than the pictures. I now only see the phone numbers and generic avatars where pics would be.

  • When using imessage, does it count against your minutes in your plan for texting or is it totally free?

    when using imessage, dos it count against your minutes in your plan or is it totally free?

    iMessage does not use call minutes or SMS message quota in your plan.  It does use data when when the phone is connected to cellular data.  When you use WiFi, it's completely free.

  • Charge for texts when using iMessage

    Why am I charged for texts that include photos or video when using iMessage to send or receive with other Apple products? Should the senders use an email address instead of my iPhone number? I have ATT with pay as you go texting. I'm only charged when there's a photo or video attached.

    Hi Garypsu,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  This article has some steps you can try if iMessages aren't sending correctly:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2755
    If you still can't send or receive iMessages
    Ensure that iMessage is turned on in Settings > Messages.
    To send and receive iMessages, your device must have a valid cellular or Wi-Fi data connection.
    iPhone: Troubleshooting Cellular data
    iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    iMessage registration validates your Apple ID for use with iMessage. If you are unable to activate iMessage, follow this article.
    If an iMessage cannot be sent, it will be resent using SMS or MMS, depending on the content. You can turn this behavior on or off in Settings > Messages > Send As SMS. Carrier messaging rates may apply.
    Verify that the Apple ID or phone number is listed in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive.
    Step 4 above describes how to turn off having failed iMessages send as texts to prevent this from happening.
    Cheers,

  • When using iMessage how can I make it so it shows my number not my Apple ID?

    SETTINGS - MESSAGES - RECEIVE AT - CALLER ID (select your number, instead of your email address)

  • When using imessage with another iphone user, is it still free to message them if they're out of the country?

    my friend is out of the country, and he wants use imessage, but i dont know if it will give me charges to my account and apple doesnt mention if it's only unlimited messaging within the country

    iMessage uses data, just like an email, if I can use that analogy. It will not count as SMS, however I have read somewhere where some people have reported getting SMS charges when using iMessage. I believe it is impossible though, unless the message does not go through and you have send as SMS checked in settings if the iMessage fails.

  • After upgrading to yosemite, my Cintiq lags when using photoshop, any fixes?

    I've upgraded my iMac to Yosemite and photoshop CC 2014 lags when using my wacom cintiq. So far these are the steps I've taken.
    I've installed wacom drivers from nov 2014 because the jan 2015 drivers didn't help
    Doesn't seem to be a ruler issue within photoshop
    I've renamed my adobe photoshop prefs file
    and running osx 10.10.2

    Not true. iCloud still works with Mavericks.
    What browser are you using?
    It would help to give us more information. You can download Etrecheck, which is a small free app which will generate a system report on your mac and you can paste the report here in a response. http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck
    Have you used any "maintenance" or "cleaner" apps like MacKeeper or CleanMyMac in the past?
    Do you have third-party antivirus software on your Mac?

  • Noticeable lag when using drawing tablet, streaming video, and simple games

    Hi, I'm using a Toshiba Satellite Laptop model A335D-S69221. There is a noticeable lag when using my drawing tablet, streaming videos (such as youtube), and games that are not  "fast" such as This War of Mine and Don't Starve. All drivers and the system is newly wiped and up to date.  When visiting web pages if there are embedded videos it causes a whole system lag until it either asks me to stop script or I close the page.  Colors and graphics look just fine.  No problem playing fully downloaded videos. The programs themselves work just fine and the lag only happens with the above mentioned activities.  Not a virus.
    Is this an issue that can be solved by increasing the RAM from 4GB to 6GB or 8GB?  Or is it an issue with the graphics card?  I suspect RAM but don't want to shell money on the wrong thing. Most of the programs say 4GB is required but it almost seems bare minimum.  Is my laptop even worth upgrading?
    Unfortunately it takes away my ability to draw and makes gaming progress annoyingly slow.  Once the lagging action is complete it works ok but just repeats. 
    Windows 7 Home Premium
    Processor: AMD Turion X2 Dual-Core RM-72 210 GHz
    ATI Radeon 3100 Graphics
    Memory: 4GB
    64-bit

      this is my personal opinion as a guy who had more than 5 pcs, 4 gaming laptops and other mac books for work in the past.
      I believe it is slightly an older model of Toshiba you are using, your drawing tablet relies on your Ram but not as much as it relies on your GPU which would be the graphics card processor. So none of those upgrades will give you a significant change on things you want to do. 
     I would rather suggest you a newer model for the things you do with your budget than getting rams for your computer. Both of you are processor and graphics card.
     If you want to upgrade, Ram is your cheapest option, but check out the slots, usually they have 2 slots, and 2 x 2GB on them, so if you buy a 4GB , you get 6. DDR II is kinda out of date with current programs and software, keep that in consideration aswell. 
     I do not think any upgrade you spend money on will give you the speed you want to feel.

  • When using iMessage on Mac, messages don't sync to phone or iPad.

    The issue I'm having is described in the title of this discussion. When using the iMessage service on my MacBook Air, the messages I'm sending and receiving won't sync up with my iPhone or iPad.
    I've tried nearly every option and I've just about had enough with this ****** service that constantly goes down.

    It's going to be hard to make suggestions given none of us know what this "nearly everything" you've tried is. You may well see suggestions for things you've already done.
    Generally, the problem you're having is resolved by signing out of iMessage on all of your devices. Then, sign back in from your phone. Wait for iMessage to be reactivated. Then, sign into the other devices using the same Apple ID.
    For what it's worth, I've had the service go down once since it was implemented. I know of another outage last week but it only affected some people.
    Best of luck.

  • My phone won't use IMessage even when the person I'm txting has an iPhone why?

    Why won't my phone use iMessage even when the person in txting has an iphone

    I'm having same problem with sending to 3 people from a particular WiFi Network. For two people the iMessage i write is sending, but stops just before Delivery and then says not delivered. For the third person it immediately sends as text message.
    Answered to questions above.
    Can I send to others... Intermittent. Usually no, but then at some point a lot of iMessages comes at once.
    Settings have been enabled.
    Also other persons settings/Messages are enabling iMessage.
    Enabled for WiFi + non roaming cellular ( at my end it should mean only wifi as I am in roaming area with wifi available).
    Numbers are all enabled as we have used them a lot of times, an no changes or upgrades this month.
    So: it seems to me to be a WiFi issue here, but the odd thing is that it sometimes lets iMessages through.
    e-mail and browsing works fine.
    Any suggestions?

  • How do I get google talk to accept my password when using imessage?

    I have both a MacBook Air and Pro using iOS X - Maverick.  For the longest I have not been able to use iMessage with Google Talk.  I need to be on Google Talk for work and decided to set it up.  I set it up, but when I shut it down and then re-open it, Google Talk will not accept my password.  When I go to Google, it indicate suspicious behavior.  I can't find anywhere that will allow me the option allow imessage to use google talk in my google settings.  Please help.

    Hi 2douglas,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it sounds like the password is being rejected. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

  • Is there a way to differentiate from two iPod touches that are on the same iTunes acct when using iMessage? When one child sends a message the other gets it and it says it's from our email address.

    Both of my sons have iPod touches. I set them both up on my iTunes account. The problem we are having is when they are using iMessage. When one sends a message the other also receives it. The message is labeled as from my email address. Is there a way to differentiate the 2 iPods?
