So since about two weeks ago whenever I get a picture it loads on the device I currently have unlocked but on the rest of my devices it'll stay stuck downloading and just never load. Anybody else having this problem?
Got a tip for us?

iMessage Syncing Bug

Are all your devices running iOS 9? Have you restarted all of them? Is this problem specific to certain devices, or does it happen with all of them? What devices are they?
I've only had it happen in iMessage shortly after I bought my iPad Pro and added it to my iMessage account
I would suggest removing devices from iMessage until you can find a setup that doesn't experience the bug. Start with removing the iPad Pro and then test it. Once you figure out the device or devices causing the issue, let me know. If it happens no matter how many devices you remove, thats another issue.
I assumed it had something to do with the number of devices so I already went ahead and removed my iPad Air 2 from iMessage to see if that would help but I haven't received a picture message to see if it worked but as soon as I do I'll report back.
In theory, you should be able to add unlimited devices to your account, but one of your devices seems to be acting up, so we need to isolate which one it is so we can address the issue.
I'll try that then see which one is the problem and remove it thank you for the advice.
