- Apple says iOS 27 will fix three major Messages problems, with the update slated for public release in a few weeks.
- Failed messages will automatically retry in the background, removing the manual resend step required in iOS 26 and earlier.
- Stuck photos, videos and texts will no longer block later messages; iOS 27 gives each item its own progress bar and sends them independently.

- The changes fit Apple’s broader iOS 27 push toward bug fixes and performance gains across apps including Safari, Mail and Calendar.
