Apple’s talked a load of finances last night, and dropped some pretty crazy factoids in the process: not only are there 250 million iCloud users, they’re sending two billion messages per day. Billion. Now if only the damn thing worked well.
We have to wonder how many of these two billion daily dispatches are expressions of frustration about how unreliable iMessage is, but it’s an outstandingly impressive number nonetheless — to the chagrin of every single network. Now just imagine how many iMessages would get shot around if it worked quickly and consistently?

Dear Apple: Please Set iMessage Free
Apple Explains the iMessage Bug (Updated)
Glitchy and slow? Works fine for me.
Me too! My band has had a group message ongoing for over a year without too many problems. The only issue is when a message has to be sent over by SMS due to the recipient not having a data connection. Don’t know how they’d solve that though!?
Same with me. Never had a problem with it.
Works perfect for me. Only doesn’t send if either you or the other person has crap or no signal.
Only problem I’ve had in months is its inability to get the messages in the right order on the device you didn’t send from.
Only had a problem once and that was when Apples iMessage server went down. I use it everyday without problem otherwise
Works absolutely fine for me!
For some reason, not all iMessages arrive on all devices, and Apple seems to hate my Mac. I can’t figure out why either, because all the settings sent/received at stuff is all right. Infuriating, but still better than text messages.
I had the beta version on mac and got rid of it pretty soon. THAT was glitchy! Not used the final version yet, is it any better?
I have never had a good experience sending iMessages. It’s shit.
To the max.
works fine for me too apart from the odd fail. but then i have the odd fail over sms too.
Appears to be user error. Works fine here also.
I’ve also found that you can send messages to offline users if you send to their icloud ID rather than phone number. It’s queues them for delivery later (so you can see when they come online!)
Works perfectly for me across my iPhone and Mac, it’s one of the best features on iOS/OSX.
It’s certainly no more unreliable than Whatsapp.. .
I turned it off after 2 weeks of thinking everyone was ignoring my and finding out that no one had been receiving my iMessages, with no indication at my end
iMessage is annoying. Some messages don’t reach everyone in group. Some messages are sent individually when they’re supposed to be sent to a group. The Messages on the Mac doesn’t sync groups from my phone, even though I talk in that group every day. Hectic.
