Pop star Justin Bieber has become the latest user to speak out about a stubborn iMessage issue, and his comments have sparked a fresh wave of discussion online. The singer explained that he has been dealing with a set of problems that many iPhone owners will find familiar, which makes his experience surprisingly relatable. His posts show that even big and trusted products can face small problems that disturb the way people talk and connect every day. Bieber’s frustration makes it clear that such issues can happen to anyone irrespective of how famous they are or how high-tech their devices may be.
By speaking about it openly, he encouraged more users to share their own problems. It also made people question how fast large companies react when their most-used services stop working properly. The incident has also added to ongoing conversations about reliability and user experience across popular digital platforms.

Bieber pointed out three main issues he has been facing with the app, all of which are common enough that many iPhone users will recognise them immediately. The first was a delay in message delivery that made simple conversations feel slow and at times confusing. Messages that should have been delivered immediately were getting delayed, which broke the normal flow of the conversation.

The second problem was that his chats were not syncing correctly on all his devices. The messages looked different on each device, and because of this, he ended up missing parts of the conversation. The third problem was that the app would suddenly freeze or crash, interrupting him in the middle of chatting. These problems were not rare, and they happened often enough for him to finally speak up and tell his millions of followers.
What grabbed even more attention was the fun way he expressed his frustration. Bieber joked that he felt like putting Apple employees in a “rear na**d choke hold” to show how irritated he was. Even though he said it jokingly, it still showed he was genuinely annoyed. Fans reacted quickly, mixing laughter with real concern about how such a popular service could still have these kinds of issues.
While the Cupertino giant is usually fast to address such issues, especially when they come from well-known personalities who can easily influence public opinion, the company is yet to release an official statement on the same. The iMessage app is one of the most commonly used tools on Apple devices, and even small bugs can affect millions of people. The situation also shows how much social media has transformed the way users report problems, as one post from a celebrity can create widespread discussion and increase pressure on companies to resolve issues as quickly as possible.
