Messages app crashing at start on iphone

[Crewsmallz]

Messages + app is crashing at startup on iPhone (most updated software), no recent update to the app was done or available, was working fine yesterday this morning nothing. If I put phone in airplane mode app will open when I reconnect to network stays open but if I just try to open the app it crashes while trying to connect? Anyone else having this issue??

Exact same issue on iPhone 7 Plus.... app was working fine yesterday (3/21) and as of today it crashes/closes on startup.  I have deleted and re-installed the app from the App Store but it didn't help.

Issue on iPadPro.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled twice.  I turned WiFi off.  I restarted The iPadPro several times.  All to no avail.

Help?

Having the same problem on iPhone 7+. Deleted and reinstalled app, rebooted phone, still didn’t fix the issue.

I have the same problem. With Verizon support (tech 2) on the phone, I reset the device, deleted and reinstalled, reset network, and finally reset all on the iPad Air. Nothing has worked.

So.. it works now. Or at least mine does. I haven’t tried anything new, it just magically started working. You may want to try It again, see if yours works also.
