Why does my iPhone freeze literally every single time i get iMessages/texts?
I'm in quite a few group chats I don't know if that's the problem but every time we start texting in them my phone just freezes then ill get the text notification on top it'll freeze again for another 30 seconds and doesn't go back to normal until they stop, its really irritating and I can't stand it anymore. Other times I won't get any text notifications and ill open my phone and have a bunch of messages without even knowing, or I won't receive any for a long time then ill get 30 messages in 5 seconds. Does this happen to anyone else/what can I do to fix this? I really don't feel like going to the apple store but that seems to be my only option right now.
If your Iphone is jailbroken that may be the issue. If your iphone is not jailbroken it may be a malicious app you have downloaded. If you have not done any of these then i would delete the chats you don't currently use and wipe everything off your phone and then re-sync it back on. If you still have problems apple has an online chat if you don't want to go the apple store and they will be very happy to help you with any questions or issues you have. If still nothing happens take it back to carrier for a replacement. Make sure to let them know it is a sofware issue.
The other answer says about malicious software - Don't worry, that's not possible unless your iPhone is jailbroken, and you didn't say it was.
This definitely sounds like some kind of fault, you should do a full restore of your phone and see if it improves.
To do that, make sure your data is fully backed up to iCloud or iTunes and then start the restore process, this page explains how: http://support.apple.com/.../kb/ht1766
After the restore, if the phone hasn't improved, you'll have to take it to an Apple Store.
- Why is my Iphone not sending as Imessages and receiving iMessages from one person? I'm texting my wife and we both have iPhone's and she is getting the messages as an iMessage but the ones I'm sending her on my end show up at green. Sometime it will go as blue, get the little red exclamation point then send as regular SMS. I'm texting someone else too and she has an iPhone, and she is getting mine as regular iMessages and mine are sending as regular iMessages. Why aren't they sending to me wife as iMessages?
- Why does my Youtube freeze so much on my iPhone when I drive? I like to listen to youtube videos when I drive, but for some reason, the videos pause. I've tried turning off Wi-Fi, but still don't know why it does this? The videos sometimes play perfectly well, it's just hit/miss. Any advice? I have an iPhone 4s and use the Youtube app.
- Why does my iPhone sometimes send texts to other iPhones as iMessages then regular texts to iPhones? Like when I send a text to my friend that has an iphone, it usually sends as an iMessage then it will randomly send as just a regular text and it will be green and not blue.
- Why does my iPhone 5s freeze every morning? The last few days I have turned on 5 or 6 alarms in the morning because I have trouble waking up since school started. Every time they go off, my screen freezes and jitters every time I try and turn them off or unlock my phone. If I restart it, it's fine but even that is hard to do since I can't slide the power off button due to the freezing. It's less than a year old. Does anyone know why this is happening and/or how to fix it?
