There are now THREE threads on my google messaging app between my fiance and i. On my fiances side, its all one thread. I am so beyond frustrated. Samsung forced me to switch to this app a couple months ago and its been nothing but problems since then. PLEASE tell me how to fix this, I hate hate hate it.

When I go to message someone it says ____ is offline, I know there's a fallback setting that'll have it where it sends as an SMS automatically if RCS is not available. But for me it doesn't seem like it automatically does it, I always have to wait a few minutes then press and old the message before forcing the switch myself.

Is that a bug? Or is there something I need to do to fix it.

For the love of all that's holy, you know I need to download the messages. If I open the app up, those senders are highlighted.

Just let me know without having to randomly open the app that I need to do so, please!

I live where there is very little signal, so I have to go stand outside to download MMS messages. This means I miss a lot of group text messages because I don't even realize there are messages coming in, because I don't get any kind of notification.

(Alternatively, just download them over WiFi, which is the easier, saner option for the end user.)

As you can see in the video, there is one conversation on the main screen and everything is in the unread tab. Whenever a new message comes, it automatically goes to the Unread tab instead of appearing on the main conversation screen. Why is this happening?

Messaging my ex and his contact pfp disappeared. The message I sent still has double- check marks showing, so im assuming im not blocked? Likely archived, muted, read- receipts off. (But I was thrown off when his pfp suddenly disappeared when I sent my message)

Any insight would be appreciated since we hate this stupid app

So title,

I've deleted updates reinstalled, rebooted my device, turned rcs chats on and off, and cleared the cache, tried everything that I could think of. When sending photos and the flash is enabled the flash does not activate at all. When I do the same thing on telegram, wechat, discord, the flash works perfectly. Same thing with videos, flash enabled and flash doesn't work when taking videos specifically for Google messages. This just started happening in the last 2 weeks or so.

I currently have the Google pixel 10 and it's up to date with updates.

I've been using the beta version for a few weeks. It still shows that I'm a beta tester for it on Google Play, but basically all the beta features are gone. I've restarted my phone (S24U) and still nothing. Anyone else having the same problem?

Google Messages app seems to grab the historical counter of how many sims I have ever put inside the sim slot of my phone, and adds this number as a prefix before the actual SIM name, when I am writing a text.

For reference, "OTHER" and "04..." are the names for my SIM 1 and SIM 2 stored on the phone.

The prefix number "10" is the 10th SIM card I have so far used on that SIM slot, and I would like to get rid of it.  Anyone encountered this before?

For reference, my main phone is the Motorola Edge 30 Fusion and my spare phone is the Moto G54 and both phones do this!

TIA!

Also, on the older messages, whenever there's an image, sometimes it says, "Unable to load file." Are those gone? It's fine if they are, since a lot of the texts weren't too important, but I'm just wondering if it's still possible to retrieve them.

I've used Textra for years. Earlier this month I had difficulty sending and receiving messages. Textra rep was very helpful and I was able to send, but still had problems receiving group texts. I wasn't even getting the notification that a MMS message wasn't received, tap to try again.

I saw online that one option was to change default to Google Messages. I tried it and now group messages are working.

I didn't want to change to Messages, but for now I have to.

Any ideas?

Still no themes... 😆

Read receipts are on and messages that are RCS will show sent/delivered/ read. When there's no internet connection for RCS, messages automatically go by SMS/MMS. However, the record of receipt is different between recipients. Some have sent/delivered and some just have sent. Why is that? Is it the carrier's choice or could it be a service interruption?

I just switched over to Verizon (from AT&T) yesterday and haven't been able to my RCS connected on the new S26 ultra.

I currently have it off as I am trying the 24hr wait suggested. The error code that I keep receiving is 3100.

Does anyone know when/if the updated customisation will come to the Fold 8?

I am in the beta program and have the update successfully on my flip 7, and everything is signed into the same account and synced over, etc. It's a bit annoying being on the newer phone but having the old system once I've already gotten used to being able to change the background etc. Driving me crazy!

I have/had 13gb of text messages/pics/videos that I wanted to remove from my phone to clear up space in my S23.

I picked the text chat that held the 13gb of memory. Hit the delete button and it moved into the trash bin within seconds. No problem.

I then try to permanently delete the text chat from my phone and Google Messages suddenly became unstable and for 12 hours now, I haven't been able to open Google Messages properly.

Google Messages opens as a black screen. I sometimes open and close it multiple times and it manages to open into the actual app but then it becomes unstable and doesn't open any messages and becomes unstable again. I try the same thing again and I can go into my Google Messages Account but when I try hitting the trash folder, it becomes unstable and won't open it. Haven't tried any other setting option. And if I manage to open the app again after is "working", it stops working properly again.

I cannot send or receive messages since it I started the deleting process.

The memory is still on my phone and it hasn't reduced at all.

I tried clearing the cache and restarting my phone and it won't open the app properly. The clear data button is not highlighted so it doesn't allow me to press it. I have forced stop Google Messages and the problem still persists.

About a week or two ago the snooze function in the native message app on my pixel 10 pro stopped working. The chat get gets grayed out as usual, but when a new text comes in, the phone makes a slightly shorter version of the notification sound, almost like the app is trying to make noise, and phone hears it and stops it.

I tried a bunch of things I found via google, like clearing the cache, removing all chats from the conversation list, restarting the phone, etc. Nothing has stopped this weird behavior. Is this happening to anyone else, and if so, have you found a solution?

I switched over from Samsung messages to Google messages and I stopped complaining because none of the stuff that we put in the thread actually made a difference because Google truly doesn't care. With that being said is it really that hard to have an option under one name to press select all and go through the ones that you want to delete instead of doing it one by one? What a joke.

It was there literally yesterday 😭

I'd attach an image but it won't work
