Messages app crashing

[Papyrus16]

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?

I was having the same issue and after reading this I removed Google meet and it worked immediately for me also. Thank you!!!

Wow disabling meet also worked for me. How ridiculous this was today. I used google messages for the day, I forget how terrible it is!

Removing Google meet worked for me too. My message app was crashing all morning. I read this thread, un-installed Google meet and now messages work. Weird
