iPhone Potential bug on iOS 13.3?: iMessage tapbacks really slow/laggy

[dukee101]

Has anyone else started to experience very slow/laggy iMessage tapbacks? (Tapback = when you press and hold on a message it lets you react with a like, etc. and also shows who else has liked it)

This started happening after I updated to iOS 13.3, and it's happening on both my iPhone XS and my partner's iPhone X.

Do you still see this issue? A friend of mine (an SE user) mentioned it too. But I have found very few mentions of it online. I'm still on 13.2 so I haven't seen it myself. Curious to find out if this is a universal bug and just not significant enough for people to mention, or if it's just rare and/or temporary.

I am definitely still seeing this issue. Apple has not issued a patch to 13.3, so I see no reason for why it should go away. Secondly, this is still also occurring on my partner's phone, which is also on 13.3. Sometimes she's not able to 'tapback' on a message at all because of this bug.
