I suspect because it's crap. I stopped using it ages ago.

Starting to piss me off now. Either make a feature work properly, or get rid of it.

It's not like the change to using text messages is seamless either, i.e it doesn't just send one after 10 seconds, it waits ages and tries and tries... right ballache

 

[Munson]

When I first started using it, I thought it was great. Worked seamlessly and sent as SMS pretty quickly if necessary. Recently it's just become a hangy, buggy, unreliable POS. Disabling it is fully for the win.

 

[DanielJames]

I wouldn't want to disable it no way, send far too many pics/have group conversations on it.

Surprised a few of you have slated it, I've never had a problem until now

 

[JCC]

I disable it too. Unless I have 3G signal all the time it's just a slower, less reliable way of texting someone. Pointless when I have unlimited texts and barely send pics.

Mines working fine at the moment, could it be some thing to do with the service providers that everyone is using?

I don't get why people start a thread when the iCloud status page said there were issues.

Mine was down from yesterday evening but was working again this morning.

I've noticed it's been quite slow lately, it annoys me pictures don't send quicker like whatsapp, I don't care if they downsize, just wish there was an option like on emails.

 

[Rob]

What really gets my goat is that a small app like whatsapp can get it right, but a HUGE company like apple can't.

 

[Scrooge]

It is annoying.

Working for me.
Always has.

I think the main problems occur when a conversation is happening on multiple data services. Switching between Wi-Fi, 3G or GSM - it just seems to eat its own head. Roaming especially appears to f**k it up.

My phone changes between all 3 all day, depending where I walk.

whats app however always works fine.

Yesterday my phone could receive iMessages but not send them, ended up using my laptop as I was in anyway and iMessage worked fine on there. Weird.

I've had a few issues since they rolled it out, but nothing that would cause me to disable it completely. Last couple of days the sync between all my iDevices has been a bit pish - mostly to my iMac - and the whole service was down for hours last night; but it's nothing I'm going to cry about.

Mines back up too........ after turning it back on in the messages settings. Do'h
