My original message shows as a dotted bubble

as far as I can tell, it is only happening in one thread. The recipient is able to reply to all of my imessages (and they can even reply to green bubbles/text messages), but sometimes it shows a dotted bubble and I dont know what the original message I sent says. I have a 16pro and its running the most recent iOS, but it was also happening with the previous iOS.


I synced my imessage and it still

isnt showing the original message.

Since you have cropped your screenshot I cannot identify the app that is being used. Apple's Messages app (iMessage), WhatsApp, or another app on your iPhone? That will help me identify the icon accurately.


I can neither see any Blue or Green Message buubles.
