As is typically the case with any major iOS update, the release of iOS 7 has brought with it a small number of bugs. One such bug is a glitch in iMessage wherein some users aren’t receiving iMessages sent to them while others are finding that they can’t send iMessages at all. While restarting a troubled iOS device seems to alleviate the issue for some, this solution reportedly doesn’t do the trick for everyone.
To that end, Apple late on Tuesday night confirmed to the Wall Street Journal that it is aware of the issue and plans to implement a fix in an upcoming software update.
“We are aware of an issue that affects a fraction of a percent of our iMessage users, and we will have a fix available in an upcoming software update,” Apple said in a statement. “In the meantime, we encourage any users having problems to reference our troubleshooting documents or contact AppleCare to help resolve their issue. We apologize for any inconvenience this causes impacted users.”
Apple issued iOS 7.0.2 last week and we can only assume that iOS 7.0.3 can’t be too far off.
