Hi guys, David and David here from payetteforward.com, and today we are going to talk about what
to do if your iMessages are out of order.
This bug has been going around like the flu, and Apple refuses to vaccinate your iPhone.
It's really frustrating.
Everyone is dealing with this problem and apple hasn't provided a solution yet.
What a good line.
That is.
Okay.
So first thing we're gonna here to show you how to fix the problem right first thing you
want to do restart.
Your iPhone could be a minor software glitch right back on press the side button on the
outside in your phone.
And until you see slide to power off appear in the screen, which you have to actually
press clapping.
There you go.
Yep.
You got it.
There.
It is Slide the power off actually turn off my iPhone right now.
So you restart your iPhone.
I messages are still out of order.
Let's try turning it off and back home great idea.
So we're gonna open the settings app scroll down to messages its way down here and that
the top of the screen you'll see a message.
There's switched their tap.
Switch iMessage off.
Yep, Travis which again iMessage back on might take a minute for iMessage to reactivate on
your phone.
Yep, but should be right back to normal.
So you turn a message off and back on still not a border still out of order.
It is much check for an iOS update.
I think most people are expecting Apple to One Day released an iOS update that actually
fixes this problem interestingly enough 11 iOS.
There was a little bit of code in there that was supposed to fix the problem and it didn't
work then work tried people left a lot of angry comments on Payette Forward because
I said it was going to work and it didn't work and I'm sorry if you read the article
and that's right.
Yep.
So let's update your iPhone software open the settings app tap General Tap software
update if an update is available will say download and install.
Yep.
It'll probably something like iMessage that of order fixed right that's going to happen
probably won't say probably wants might not say that totally but if an update is not available,
that's too bad.
Your iPhone is up to date right?
So But there's more we can do there's more little we can do and here's actually a tip
that I read in the comments section.
Someone said this works for them and it's worked for a lot of people.
So we're going to tell you about it right now.
It's adjusting the date and time settings on your iPhone the iMessage out of order do
with the time time on the phone so through that we just lose our readers are really smart.
If you think this could work.
Yeah.
First thing you want to do is open the settings app tap General.
Yeah and then tap date & time now and here I'll see the switch next to set automatically
we're gonna turn that off huh, and then we're gonna and then we're gonna here we go.
We're in an open the app switcher right?
We're gonna close the settings up see you later.
Now, you're gonna want to open the messages app and check if your messages are in order
great.
Maybe they are maybe they are they should be they should be.
Yep.
So now that they're in order go back to the settings app.
Yep.
Go back to date and time.
It should still be open.
Date and time turns out automatically back on.
Yep.
You want to have that turned on what idea especially when you're changing time zones.
It's probably helpful traveling all over the place jet Setter.
So that should fix the problem for you.
If it doesn't we still have one more fix and that is to reset all settings reset all settings
resets all the settings on your phone.
That's that's my technical explanation.
Perfect.
It resets everything in the settings app, but it doesn't delete any of your personal
info or the messages in the messages app unlike a restore which would delete all your messages.
So open the settings app tap General scroll all the way down to reset tap reset all settings
enter your passcode.
Uh-huh, very secure.
If you have a restrictions passcode setup, I do because I phone articles not because
my parents are yeah, uh entry restrictions passcode and until say reset all settings
tap that your iPhone turn off it'll restart right?
Um be complete one thing to keep in mind here is that your Wi-Fi passwords will be erased.
Reenter the to the ripe when you turn your iPhone back on that's pretty much the main
great people have when they reset all settings as they lost their Wi-Fi passwords and right.
We don't hear to hear it.
They have to read the small gripe of the complaining about the messages being out of order.
Chances are you're just gonna complain about that too.
So what can we do?
We can't fix that.
So that's what to do when your iMessages are out of order.
Absolutely.
Now we really want to emphasize that apple is probably going to fix this problem with
the software update.
It's gonna come eventually.
Just be patient — wait it out.
It's not that big of a deal.
There's one other possibility.
We haven't mentioned though.
And that is that your friends are messing with you that they're texting your words their
tech.
One thing the next thing they're saying like, what should we do today?
And then hey, how's it going?
And then it's Fred.
I'm your friend.
I've been pretty clever.
Yeah, I'm sure some apple techs have already done that.
Yeah, I'll totally but then the problem is they do that and they're iMessages just show
up out of order.
So the message actually looks normal.
Yeah, so if you want to play a Prank on your local Apple Store, maybe have your friends
do that.
I hadn't even thought of that yet.
That's pretty funny.
Waste waste the Apple tech's time.
You'll show them.
Great advice from Payette Forward.
Yep.
So that's what to do when iMessage is out of order and leave us a comment down below.
Let us know if there's any fixes that we haven't mentioned in this video, that's how we found
about the date and time thing.
We don't know everything, right?
Yeah.
How could we have known that the time would have to do with iMessages?
I know.
We're not Geniuses.
