If iMessage sliced off both ends of your tweets, you’re not alone

On Thursday, I wrote that the company was having a rough February after experiencing issues for the second time in a week, and on Friday, they were dealing with a strange bug. The first and last characters in a text to a friend on an Apple device wouldn't show up. 9to5Mac reported that the previews sent via iMessage seemed to be missing the first and last characters of the tweet.

This bug was experienced by myself and another writer. Here is how the Messages app on my phone, Mac, and Apple Watch displayed a message I wrote yesterday.

Here's what the message I sent yesterday looked like.

When reached for comment, a representative from the company said that the bug seemed to have been fixed, but that wasn't the case. The bug was fixed for me on all of my devices. Apple did not reply to a request for comment.

The bug has been fixed for me.
