Is there something wrong with iMessage?

Lately, when I have been sending iMessages, they send at a very, VERY slow rate. Sometimes it takes one text an hour to send. My friend and I both have iPhones (me: 3gs, her: 5) and we both use iMessage everyday. This has only recently become a problem.

I tried restarting my phone, turning on and off iMessage, turning on and off my Wi-Fi, etc. But nothing has worked. My Wi-Fi is stable and working fine and I have good signal/connection.

Has there been anything wrong with iMessage lately that's in Apple's control? How can I fix this?

I haven't had any problems. Part of it might be that although iMessage works on the 3gs it was more geared for the 4 and 5 series phones. The 3GS was nice in it's heyday, but at the end of the day, it's a 4 year old phone now. It is still a nice phone. But the speed might not be as good as the other iPhones.

  • There's something wrong with my itunes store for iphone 5? When I click on the app to open it, it loads for a second before it automatically goes back to my home screen. What should I do? I already turned my iphone off and on and cleared my history repeatedly. Is there any solution besides restarting my iphone 5 again? By the way, this iphone 5 is not new, and it had been working after I had updated to IOS7 until i had noticed this morning.

  • Is there something wrong with the Crunchyroll anime app? This has happened to me on multiple episodes, including "Naruto Shippuden","Attack on Titan", and others. They are not specific episodes from what I can gather, but it may be my IPhone 4s. I have full internet, so that s not the problem. (Have not tried to reset the router/modem yet).A quick answer would be appreciated, thank you!
