Over the last 24 hours, when I go to open a Messages conversation, it takes 3 seconds to load the conversation. Every conversation takes 3 seconds to load. I have an iPhone 15 Pro Max and am running 18.3.2. Nothing else on my phone is loading slowly. I've tried rebooting the phone a couple of times, but that hasn't made a difference. Any suggestions on what might be causing this? Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks.

iOS Messages Loading Conversations Slowly

How much storage is Messages using?
Bumping against any storage issues?
If you start a new conversation, does that thread load faster or same?
Maybe time for a purge? Delete the conversations and start over. Or go to Settings> iPhone Storage > Messages. Tap Review Large Attachments and get rid of as many pictures and videos as you are willing.

So here's the weird thing. As suddenly as it started, my Messages problem has disappeared. Everythign was fine on Friday. Then on Saturday, it started acting wonky. I rebooted a couple of times and force-quit the app, but it didn't solve the issue. The problem remained until Sunday evening, and then, it just started acting normally again. I have no idea what happened.
