My Samsung Messages app keeps closing. I've restarted my phone multiple times. I've gone to Settings > App Settings > Messages > Storage and hit Clear cache and Clear data. When I do this, the space used for cache and data go down to 0, but then immediately go back up to the original storage amounts when I reopen Messages.
I found a previous conversation about Messages crashing in Dec 2023 and tried following the instructions but when I held down the power button and volume up with the phone turned off, the phone restarted as normal, even though I held them down until after the Samsung logo disappeared.
If I can't fix it, can I install a different app for
My Google storage is 94% full. Could that be connected?
Cannot believe this is happening to other users. I decided to look this issue up at the end of the night and low and behold it is the first thing that popped up for Samsung messages not working....
Each time I open (messages) it's fine, as soon as I click on a text thread I have about 3-4 secs before the app crashes...
I've cleared the cache, I've deleted the data, I even rebooted my phone into safe mode. I also went into the wizard boot menu by turning off the phone, holding power and volume up, then cleared the phones cache, and restarted... Nothing works!
At first I thought it was a bug or that I got hacked. But after reading the comments here, I know I'm not alone.
Best bet is to use Google messaging till the issue is fixed..
