Hello mtkirksey55,


Thank you for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.


Let's restart your iPhone. Even though this is a simple step, it may be helpful:


"How to restart your iPhone X, 11, 12, 13, or later

  1. Press and hold either volume button and the side button until the power-off slider appears.The volume button is located on the left side of the device, and the side button is located on the right
  2. Drag the slider, then wait 30 seconds for your device to turn off. If your device is frozen or unresponsive, force restart your device.
  3. To turn your device back on, press and hold the side button (on the right side of your iPhone) until you see the Apple logo."


More details can be found here: Restart your iPhone


If the issue persists, can you provide a few more details? When did you first notice this? What is your exact iOS version? Also, does this happen with all message threads or just certain ones.


Cheers!
