Frozen messages on my iPhone 16

I’ve tried all of the solutions that Apple says to do and my messages are still frozen. It locks up my entire phone. This needs to be fixed. I have an iPhone 16 with all of its correct updates.

Please try a force reset procedure as shown, this will determine if this is a software issue.


  • Press and quickly release the volume up button.
  • Press and quickly release the volume down button.
  • Press and hold the side button until you see the Apple logo

If that doesn't rectify your issue, then this is likely a hardware issue in which you need to visit your nearest Apple Store's Genius Bar or Apple Authorized Service Provider for diagnostics and evaluation.
