One of the problems that many iPhone 14 Pro users often complain about is the random crashing of Messages app. If you suddenly find yourself on the wrong end of this problem and are looking for ways to get rid of it, try out these 5 viable tips to fix Messages app crashing on iPhone 14 Pro.

5 Ways to Fix Messages App Crashing on iPhone 14 Pro

So, why does the stock messages app crash on iPhone 14 Pro? The random crashing of the messages app can be attributed to several things including software glitches and hidden bugs could be blamed for the crashing issue.

Besides, the ill-functioning server could also be very much in the play. In this guide, we are going to look at the problem from all aspects and try workable tips accordingly.

1. Force Quit the Messages App

Believe it or not, I have fixed the iPhone 14 Pro messages crashing issue by force-killing the app on many occasions. Considering how effective it is, I would suggest you give it a try before trying other solutions.

  1. Swipe up from the the bottom of the display and hold along the middle of the screen when the app switcher appears.
  2. Look for the Messages app card and swipe up to kill it.

After that, open the Message app and use it for some time to see if you have fixed the crashing problem.

2. Hard Reset Your iPhone

The next solution to fix iPhone 14 Pro Messages app crashing issue is to force reset the device. Taking into account how effective force reset is in terms of fixing common iOS 16 issues, you should definitely give it a go.

  1. Press and quickly release the volume up button.
  2. Press and quickly release the volume down button.
  3. Hold down the side button until the Apple logo appears on the screen.

3. Turn OFF/ON iMessage

In most cases, you can fix the iPhone 14 Pro iMessage problems by just turning it off/on. Hence, be sure to bring this nifty but workable tip into play as well.

  1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
  2. Scroll down and tap on Messages.
  3. Turn off the toggle for iMessage.
  4. Restart your iPhone. Once your iPhone has rebooted, head over to the iMessage setting and turn it on.

Next, open the Messages app to check if the crashing problem is fixed. If it has, enjoy the blue bubble!

4. Ensure That iMessage is Not Facing Any Outage

Another important thing that you should do if messages app is crashing on your iPhone 14 Pro is to ensure that iMessage is not facing any outage.

Go to Apple’s System Status page and make sure that the circle next to iMessage is green.
If the circle for iMessage is orange, you can’t do anything but wait for Apple to fix the iMessage issue.

5. Update iOS

Is your iPhone 14 Pro Messages app still crashing? No worries! As stated above, the iMessage crashing issue could also be due to a software bug which could be resolved by updating the software. Since most iOS updates come bundled with plenty of improvements and bug fixes, there is a high possibility it would resolve the problem.

  1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
  2. Tap General.
  3. Select Software Update.
  4. If an update is available, simply download and install it.

Fixed the iMessage Crashing Issue on iPhone 14 Pro

That’s pretty much it. I hope the problem is fixed and the Messages app is no longer crashing on your iPhone 14 Pro. Now, go ahead and relish messaging to your heart’s liking. But before you get into a long conversation spree, do not forget to share your feedback and the solution that has helped you troubleshoot the iPhone 14 Messages app crashing issue.
