I'm having phone text message problems where messages are delayed by hours or sometimes don't send at all. This happens with both SMS and MMS. I've checked my signal strength and it seems fine. What could be causing these phone text message problems and how can I troubleshoot them effectively?
Phone text message problems with delayed delivery can be carrier related. Contact your carrier to see if there are network issues in your area. Also, try turning airplane mode on and off to reset your connection to the network towers.
Make sure your messaging app is up to date. Phone text message problems can sometimes be caused by bugs in the app itself. Also, try using a different messaging app temporarily to see if the issues persist, which would indicate it's not app-specific.
Check if you have any battery saving modes enabled that might be restricting background data for messaging apps. This can cause phone text message problems with delayed delivery. You can usually whitelist specific apps from battery optimization.
