It seems Apple’s v1.1.3 firmware update for iPhone isn’t meeting universal praise from users. In fact, many Brits are complaining that the update has messed up the way their iPhone sorts text messages, making conversations look out of order. That’s as in ’sorted in the wrong order’, obviously, not ‘well out of order my son, cor blimey etc’. One of the new features of the update was the ability to send multiple texts at once, so it’s a bit embarrassing for Apple to have this problem emerge.
Apple has already ‘fessed up to the issue, admitting that “when sending or receiving text messages on the iPhone, the SMS messages may be displayed out of sequence”. Its advice is to make sure your iPhone is getting its time from the mobile operator automatically – a setting that can be found under General > Date & Time in the Settings app.
“If the issue continues after turning this setting on, the issue may be occuring because messages are being sent in quick succession,” Apple’s advice goes on to say. Which isn’t exactly helpful, given that so many text conversations take that form.
