https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S23/One-chat-in-Google-Messages-history-gone/m-p/3237042#M70716 <P>Sometimes it happens that Google Messages separates the encrypted chats from the unencrypted ones when the other person switches on RCS and then starts a new chat.&nbsp; You may end up with two chat streams from the same contact, one SMS and one RCS.&nbsp; Look for a duplicate stream.&nbsp; It may be way down in your list.&nbsp; It did that to me with a group chat once when one of the participants who had not previously had RCS switched it on.&nbsp; Since I did not want a duplicate chat feed and did not need any history of the nonsense that went on in that chat, I just deleted it.&nbsp; If you find a duplicate chat, you will not be able to merge them, but you can archive the chat so you don't accidentally delete it.&nbsp; Or, if the new chat stream is very short and you don't need that history, delete it and respond in the old chat.&nbsp; You will see a dividing line between encrypted and unencrypted chats.&nbsp; Might be best, though, to archive the old chat.</P> Fri, 16 May 2025 15:10:58 GMT realaud 2025-05-16T15:10:58Z
