Anyone else's character counter not working after updating to ios 5?
Not working how?
Do you have that setting turned on?'
Mine works just fine.
yes i have it on(settings -> messages -> character count -> on). Don't see the character counter at all when texting
Same thing is happening to my friend
It also only shows once you have made enough characters to push the text input line to two lines.
If after that you still don't see it. Maybe try a hard reset?
Mine only works in SMS mode, not iMessage. I'm guessing cause there's no penalty for sending a long text in iMessage.
