Several complaints dropped

iPhone users took to Apple’s discussion thread on the website to report the glitch. “Since upgrading from my iPhone X to iPhone 12 Pro I’ve noticed in a group text (SMS) that I’m randomly missing texts. My husband is in the group too so I can see I’m missing multiple texts at random. Anyone else having this issue?” a user inquired.

Several complaints dropped in with an iPhone 12 user stating that perhaps the cellular radios or chips in the iPhone 12 are having issues with all carriers. In one other November 12 response, a user claimed that he was using iPhone 12 on AT&T running iOS 14.2,  and failed to fix the glitch with text messages despite spending weeks on the problem with Apple Support. Given the onslaught of complaints, Apple has been working on some form of a solution, according to several reports.
