Josh, Have you heard of iMessage having problems? My daughter upgraded last night on her iPhone 10. she sent a photo to her daughter who told her all she saw were “numbers”.
Thinking the photo didn’t got thru my daughter went to send it again, but iMessage app wouln’t open. She shut the iPhone down completely and rebooted to have iMessage app still not opening.
On the other hand, my granddaughter had upgraded and everything works. She has an iPhone 8+.
No, that is the first I’ve heard about that. Has she tried force-closing Messages and re-opening it?
Josh, Not that I know. But she sent me a note telling me she was on the phone with Apple. She told me she could send a text, but couldn’t get to the one she sent her daughter. I’ll wait until she calls to update you. Thank you, Al
Josh, My daughter just sent me a text letting me know the “problem” worked itself out while she was on the phone with the Apple tech. Weird.
Hopefully it was a fluke.
Be Safe, Al

I have recently had a friend attempt to include a jpg image in a message. This has worked before, but now clicking on the generic icon gives “Downloading…” but never goes beyond “0 bytes sent” out of 1.8MB.
Latest versions of everything. No image on desktop, iPhone, or iPads.
Over the years I’ve had the same problem from time to time, but not very often at all, mostly in Apple Mail, and occasionally in iMessage. Sometimes the file wouldn’t even try opening. It happens with both large and small files, with image files or documents. I’ve tried opening them directly in my ISP’s Webmail, and so far that would be almost always unsuccessful as well. The only thing I could think of was to ask the sender to resend as another file type.
The update to iOS 14.0.1 (released today) fixed the issue. When I start typing, apps that begin with my typed characters appear at the top of the screen. As I continue typing, the list gets whittled down.
Updated, but what happened to the edit screen of Calendar appointments? Can anyone explain why I now have to modify a start/end time with the keyboard? For me this is hardly to see as an improvement. I confess I did not try any beta.
Another odd thing with Calendars and iOS 14.2…
I created an event using Calendar on my iMac then noticed it had not appeared on my iPhone or watch. However it did appear on my iPad and Macbook. Strange!
I finally tapped on the Calendars link on the iPhone and it had a message like “Verify calendar accounts”. I tapped on this and, lo, the event displayed on the iPhone and watch. I have no idea why the verification message came up.
