Message app opens to compose new message Every time I open my Message app on my iPhone 12 Pro running iOS 16.5.1c it goes into Compose a new message. I have to hit cancel to see the list of my text messages. the other person that posted this issue a while was told to close the app and reboot the phone. I did both of those things. I also pushed the vol up, vol down and then held the power button until the Apple logo reappeared. Message app still opens and wants me to compose a new message. this is irritating - how do I stop the Message app from opening into composing a new message?

iMessage is opening the compose new message window instead of opening to the list of texts. iMessage is opening the compose new message window instead of opening to the list of texts. Every time I click on I Message icon. Very aggravating. Yes I have restarted device. Yes I have forced the app closed. Nothing is working. Also iPhone is fully updated. iPhone 14 Pro is my device. I have to cancel it before I can see my text messages. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Unfinished/unsent text message disappears On my iPhone 16.5 when I have a text message about ready to send and a new message comes and I click to see it, when returning to complete the text message not yet sent it is no where to be found. This situation has happened to me a few times and it is frustrating - of course it has to be when I have a long message too!!! Is there any way I can get that unfinished and unsent message back? TYIA

Hello!

Make sure your iPhone is up to date:

Open Settings
Tap General > Software Update
Install any available updates

If you still can't see the options, report it to Apple: Product Feedback - Apple.

I just got off the phone with Apple support and we were able to fix this issue. Go to Settings >> Safari>>Advanced>>Feature flags>>Reset to all defaults.

restarted and it was fixed.
