Messages finish indexing? I’m unable to load all of the previous photos in my conversations in iMessage. It reaches the end under “info” and says “More photos will load once messages finishes indexing.” I’ve tried restarting, I have the most recent update, I’ve toggled messages off/on in iCloud and nothing so far has worked.

Photos not showing in messages. (SMS) Good day folks! Does anyone know why my sent and received photos in Messages does this and how to correct it: Just FYI: This happens to other people I know. (More than one user) The photos are fine when first sent; I believe this happens later on, but I’m not sure, and I don’t know why. You cannot do anything with the photos as they are now. They can only be deleted. Any feedback appreciated!

Then let it finish indexing.
