After many iPhone 12 users reported messaging glitch with their new devices, Apple on November 14 issued a warning on its support forum.

The Apple support page was flooded with users’ complaints about missing messages, the issue also affected group chats.

The problem was first reported by US’ MacRumors – a site keeping track of the Cupertino tech giant’s latest news. The glitch can also be found on some older iPhone models.

Some other users also complained about missing MMS messages on iPhones. So far, Apple hasn’t made any official announcement about whether the issue is unique to iOS 14.1 and 14.2.

Another issue many users mentioned is no notification when the iPhone receives new messages.

MacRumors reported that Verizon users can temporarily fix the problem by using the Verizon Message+ app. However, other affected users may have to wait until the iPhone maker releases their fix to send and receive messages like normal.

Turning off 5G didn’t help either, according to MacRumours.

Several Complaints Dropped

A user said on the help forum that ever since she switches from iPhone X to iPhone 12 Pro, she randomly missed texts. Her husband was in the group so she was sure of her report.

An Apple user said it might be because iPhone 12’s chips and cellular radios ran into issues with all carriers.

Another user said his iPhone 12 running on AT&T with iOS 14.2 still showed the glitch after weeks of consulting with Apple support.

Many reports said the iPhone maker was working on a fix as we speak.
